Wolverton Mountain

They say don't go on Wolverton Mountain

If you're looking for a wife

'Cause 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 the birds tell Clifton Clowers

If a stranger should enter 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 Clowers, he might take my life

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey

And Wolverton Mountain protects her there

The bears and the 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 the birds tell Clifton Clowers

If a stranger should wander there

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 a gonna climb up on that mountain

And I'll get the one I love
