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(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 clifton clowers he may take my life

Her tender lips(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 (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 a going to climb up on his mountain

I'm a going to take the girl I love

I don't care about clifton clovers

I'm a going to climb up on that mountain

And I'll get the woman I love

I don't care about clifton clovers

I'm a going to the one I love

I'm a going to climb up on that mountain
