Down from Dover

[Verse 1: Nancy Sinatra] I know this dress I'm wearing doesn't Hide the secret I've 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 cast A crawling shadow o'er the fields of clover And time is running out for me I wish that he would hurry down from Dover [Verse 2: Lee Hazlewood] I've been gone so long, when I left The snow was deep upon the ground And she has seen the spring and summer come And now the leaves are turning 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 [Verse 3: Nancy Sinatra] 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 momma 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 [Verse 4: Lee Hazlewood & Nancy Sinatra] 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 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 No, I'll be coming down from Dover [Verse 5: Nancy Sinatra] 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
