They say don't go
on Wolverton Mountain
if you're looking
for a wife
'Cos Clifton Clowers
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 birds
tell Clifton Clowers
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
climb that mountain
Though Clilfton Clowers,
he might take my life
Her tender lips are
sweeter than honey
and Wolverton Mountain
protects her there
The bears and birds
tell Clifton Clowers
if a stranger should
wander 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 birds
tell Clifton Clowers
if a stranger should
wander there
But I don't care
about Clifton Clowers
I'm gonna climb up
on his mountain
I'm gonna take the
girl I love
I don't care about
Clifton Clowers
I'm gonna climb up
on that mountain
I'm gonna take
the girl I love
