Wolverton Mountain Lyrics - Dickey Lee

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 

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 inter there 

All of my dreams are on Wolverton Mountain I want his daughter for my wife 

I'll take my chances and climb that mountain 

Though Clifton Clovers he may take my life 

Her tender lips 

I'm goin' go up on Wolverton Mountain it's too lonesome down here below 

It's just not right to hide his daughter from the one who loves her so 

Her tender lips 

I don't care about Clifton Clovers I'm gonna climb up on his mountain 

I'm gonna take the one I love I don't care about Clifron Clovers
