Come Over To Dover 1914

Billy Boy, with joy,
I read your letter over,
and I want you to come down
on a little trip,
right over to old Dover,
just to see the old home town.
There's a sweet old couple
longing for you all the time,
'twill cheer them up a lot
to see their boy.
And there a little sweetheart too,
who's fondly waiting
come and fill her heart with joy.

Come over, come over,
come over to Dover,
Oh won't you come over,
we'll ramble through the clover;
it's the same old, tame old, fashioned town
with all the same old friends
around to greet you.
There's a vacant chair
down there for you,
and there's a vacant heart
that's aching too, for you,
Oh won't you come over,
come over to Dover,
to the town where you were born.

Come over, come over,
come over to Dover,
Oh won't you come over,
we'll ramble through the clover;
it's the same old, tame old, fashioned town
with all the same old friends
around to greet you.
There's a vacant chair
down there for you,
and there's a vacant heart
that's aching too, for you,
Oh won't you come over,
come over to Dover,
to the town where you were born.

You remember when we wandered
in the wild wood,
when the leaves were turning gold,
come and ramble as we did
in days of childhood,
in those happy days of old.
And when the moon is shining
down in lover's lane,
and little stars are peeping up above,
you'll find your heart will want
to stay in dear old Dover
with the little girl you love.

Come over, come over,
come over to Dover,
Oh won't you come over,
we'll ramble through the clover;
it's the same old, tame old, fashioned town
with all the same old friends
around to greet you.
There's a vacant chair
down there for you,
and there's a vacant heart
that's aching too, for you,
Oh won't you come over,
come over to Dover,
to the town where you were born.

Come over, come over,
come over to Dover,
Oh won't you come over,
we'll ramble through the clover;
it's the same old, tame old, fashioned town
with all the same old friends
around to greet you.
There's a vacant chair
down there for you,
and there's a vacant heart
that's aching too, for you,
Oh won't you come over,
come over to Dover,
to the town where you were born.
