Down from Dover - Dolly Parton[00:00:00]
I know this dress I'm wearing doesn't hide the secret I have tried concealing[00:00:06]
When he left he promised me he'd be back by the time it was revealing[00:00:15]
The sun behind a cloud just casts the crawling shadow[00:00:25]
O'er the fields of clover[00:00:28]
And time is running out for me I wish that he would hurry down from[00:00:34]
Dover[00:00:39]
He's been gone so long when he left the snow was deep upon the ground[00:00:44]
And I have seen a spring and summer pass and now[00:00:53]
The leaves are turning brown[00:00:57]
And any time a tiny face will show itself cause waiting's almost over[00:01:03]
But I won't have a name to give it if he doesn't hurry down from[00:01:12]
Dover[00:01:17]
From Dover[00:01:20]
My folks weren't understanding when they found out they sent me from the homeplace[00:01:22]
My daddy said if folks found out he'd be ashamed to ever show his face[00:01:31]
My mama said I was a fool and she did not believe[00:01:41]
It when I told her[00:01:45]
Mama everything's gonna be alright cause soon he'll be coming down[00:01:51]
From Dover[00:01:55]
From Dover[00:01:58]
I loved him more than anything and I could not refuse him when he needed[00:02:05]
Me[00:02:11]
He was the only one I'd loved and I just can't believe that he was[00:02:15]
Using me[00:02:20]
He wouldn't leave me here like this I know it can't be so it can't[00:02:24]
Be over[00:02:29]
He wouldn't make me go through this so long he'll be coming down from Dover[00:02:34]
My body aches the time is here it's lonely in this place where[00:02:43]
I'm a lying[00:02:48]
Our baby has been born but something's wrong it's much too still[00:02:53]
I hear no cryin'[00:02:57]
I guess in some strange way she knew she'd never have a father's arms[00:03:02]
To hold her[00:03:07]
So dying was her way of telling me he wasn't coming down from Dover[00:03:12]
From Dover from Dover from Dover from Dover[00:03:21]
