[Макдауэлл]
I know this dress I'm wearing doesn't hide the secret I have tried concealing
When he left he promised me that he'd be back by the time it was revealing
The sun behind a cloud just casts the crawling shadow over the fields of clover
And time is running out for me, I wish that he would hurry down from Dover
[Райс]
And I've been gone so long, that when I left the snow was deep upon the ground
And she has seen the spring and the summer come, and now the leaves have turned brown
At any time a tiny face will show itself, for waiting is almost over
But she won't have a name to give it, if I don't hurry down from Dover
[Макдауэлл]
My folks weren't understanding 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 mamma said I was a fool, she did not believe it when I told her
That everything would be all right, 'cause soon he would be coming down from Dover
[Райс]
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 using her
[Макдауэлл]
He couldn't leave me here like this, I know it can't be so, it can't be over
[Райс]
I wouldn't make her go through this alone, you know I'll be coming down from Dover
[Макдауэлл]
My body aches the time is here, it's lonely in this place where I'm lying
Our baby has been born but something's wrong, it's much too still I hear no crying
I guess in some strange way she knew she'd never have a father's arms to hold her
And dying was her way of telling me he wasn't coming down from Dover

it sounds like they're saying «denver», but the title is still printed as «dover», so i still wrote it as «dover».
