They say don't go on Wolverton Mountain

If you're lookin' for a wife

'Cause Clifton Clowers has a fair  young daughter;

He's mighty handy with a gun and 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 o' my dreams are on Wolverton Mounrain;

I want his daughter for my wife

I'll take my chances and climb the Mountain

Though Clifton Clowers 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 enter there

I'm goin' up on Wolverton Mountain

It's so 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 enter there

I don't care about Clifton Clowers;
I'm goin' to climb up on his mountain;

I don't care about Clifton Clowers

I'm goin' to climb up on his mountain

I don't care about    (repeating  fading away)
