Wolverton Mountain Lyrics - Roy Drusky

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 

Of a stranger should enter there 

All of my dreams on Wolverton Mountain 

I want his daughter for my wife 

I'll take my chances and climb his mountain 

Though Clifton Clovers may take my life 

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey 

And Wolverton Mountain protects her there 

The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clovers 

Of a stranger should enter there 

I'm going 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 are sweeter than honey 

And Wolverton Mountain protects her there 

The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clovers 

Of a stranger should enter there 

I'm a gonna going up on Wolverton Mountain 

I don't care about Clifton Clovers 

I'm a gonna going up on Wolverton Mountain 

Even if it takes me a hundred hours 

I'm a gonna going up on Wolverton Mountain 

I don't care about Clifton Clovers
