SOL/SI - x2000x
RE
I know this dress I'm wearing
DO SOL RE DO SOL/SI DO
Doesn't hide the secret I have tried concealing
RE DO
When he left he promised me that he'd be back
SOL RE DO SOL/SI DO
By the time it was revealing
SOL
The sun behind a cloud just casts the crawling shadow
RE DO SOL/SI DO
O'er the fields of clover
RE
And time is running out for me
DO SOL RE DO SOL/SI DO
I wish that he would hurry down from Dover
RE DO
He's been gone so long when he left
SOL RE DO SOL/SI DO
The snow was deep upon the ground
RE DO
And I have seen a spring and summer pass
SOL RE DO SOL/SI DO
And now the leaves are turning brown
SOL
And any time a tiny face will show itself
RE DO SOL/SI DO
Cause waiting's almost over
RE
But I won't have a name to give it
DO SOL RE DO SOL/SI DO
If he doesn't hurry down from Dover
RE DO
My folks weren't understanding when they found out
SOL RE DO SOL/SI DO
They sent me from the home place
RE
My daddy said if folks found out
DO SOL RE DO SOL/SI DO
He'd be ashamed to ever show his face
SOL
My momma said I was a fool
RE DO SOL/SI DO
And she did not believe it when I told her
RE
Momma everythings gonna be alright
DO SOL RE DO SOL/SI DO
Soon he would be coming down from Dover
RE DO
I found a place to stay out on a farm
SOL RE DO SOL/SI DO
Takin care of an old lady
RE
She never asked me nothin
DO SOL RE DO SOL/SI DO
So I never talked to her about my baby
SOL
I send a message to my mom
RE DO SOL/SI DO
With a name an address of Mrs. Elma Grover
RE DO
And to make sure he got that information
SOL RE DO SOL/SI DO
When he came down from Dover
(capo 1)
RE
I loved him more than anything
DO SOL RE DO SOL/SI DO
And I could not refuse him when he needed me
RE
He was the only one I'd loved
DO SOL RE DO SOL/SI DO
And I just can't believe that he was using me
SOL
He couldn't leave me here like this
RE DO SOL/SI DO
I know it can't be so it can't be over
RE DO
He wouldn't make me go through this alone
SOL RE DO SOL/SI DO
He'll be coming down from Dover
RE
My body aches the time is here
DO SOL RE DO SOL/SI DO
It's lonely in this place where I'm lyin'
RE DO
Our baby has been born but something's wrong
SOL RE DO SOL/SI DO
It's much too still I hear no cryin'
SOL
I guess in some strange way she knew
RE DO SOL/SI DO
She'd never have a father's arms to hold her
RE DO
And dying was her way of telling me
SOL RE DO SOL/SI DO
He wasn't coming down from Dover
