Nancy Sinatra, Lee Hazlewood - Down from Dover

I know this dress I'm wearin' doesn't Hide the secret I've tried concealin' When he left he promised me that he'd Be back by the time it was revealin' The sun behind the clouds has cast a Crawlin' shadow o'er the fields of clover And time is runnin' out for me, I wish That he would hurry down from Dover And I've been gone so long, when I Left the snow was deep upon the ground She has seen the spring and summer come And now the leaves are turnin' brown At any time a tiny face will show itself, the waiting's almost over But she won't have a name to give it, if I don't hurry down from Dover My folks weren't understandin' when they Found out they sent me from the home place My daddy said if folks found out he'd be ashamed to ever show his face My momma said I was a fool, she did not believe it when I told her That everything would be alright, for Soon he would be comin' down from Dover She loved me more than anything, she Could not refuse me when I needed her She was the only one I loved and she Did not believe that I was usin' her He couldn't leave me here like this Oh no it can't be so, it can't be over I wouldn't make her go through this alone Oh I'll be comin' down from Dover My body aches, the time is here, it's Lonely in this place where I'm lyin' Our baby has been born but something's wrong It's much too still, I hear no cryin' I guess in some strange way she knew she'd Never have a father's arms to hold her And dyin' was her way of tellin' me he wasn't comin' down from Dover
