wolverton mountain

Faron Young

They say don t go on Wolverton Mountain
If you re looking for a wife
Cause Clifton Clovers has a pretty young daughter
He s mighty handy with a gun and a knife

But her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton Mountain protects her there
The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clovers
If a stranger should wander there

All of my dreams are on Wolverton Mountain
I want his daughter for my wife
I ll take my chances and I ll climb that mountain
Though Clifton Clovers may take my life

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey...

I m a goin up on Wolverton Mountain
It s too lonesome down here below
It s just not right to hide that daughter
From the one who loves her so

Cause her tender lips are sweeter than honey...

But I don t care about Clifron Clovers
I m a gonna climb up on his mountain
I m gonna take the girl I love I don t care about Clifron Clovers
