Connie Francis - Wolverton Mountain lyrics

(Merle Kilgore - Claude King)

They say don't go on Wolverton Mountain

If you're looking for a wife

Cause you're Clifton Clovers only daughter

And he's mighty handy with his gun and knife.

Your tender lips are sweeter than honey

But Wolverton Mountain protects me there

And the bears and birds tell Clifton Clovers

If a stranger should wander there.

All of my dreams are on Wolverton Mountain

But my daddy honey take your life

And I'll take my chances and I'll climb his mountain

And we'll be happy as man and wife.

Your tender lips are sweeter than honey

But Wolverton Mountain protects me there

And the bears and birds tell Clifton Clovers

If a stranger should wander there.

I'm going up on Wolverton Mountain

I know you're lonesome down there below

It's just not right to seperate us

Because we love each other so.

Your tender lips are sweeter than honey

But Wolverton Mountain protects me there

And the bears and birds tell Clifton Clovers

If a stranger should wander there.

We don't care about Clifton Clower

'Cause our love is sweeter than flowers

We're gonna leave Wolverton Mountain

It's gonna be just a matter of powers.

We don't care about Clifton Clowers

'Cause our love is sweeter than flowers

We're gonna leave Wolverton Mountain

It's gonna be just a matter of powers...
