Wolverton Mountain

They say don't go on Wolverton Mountain

If you're looking for a wife

'Cause Clifton Clovers 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 Clovers

Of a stranger should enter there

All of my dreams on Wolverton Mountain

I want his daughter for my wife

I'll take my chances and climb his mountain

Though Clifton Clovers may take my life

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey

And Wolverton Mountain protects her there

The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clovers

Of a stranger should enter 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 Clovers

Of a stranger should enter there

I'm a gonna going up on Wolverton Mountain

I don't care about Clifton Clovers

I'm a gonna going up on Wolverton Mountain

Even if it takes me a hundred hours

I'm a gonna going up on Wolverton Mountain

I don't care about Clifton Clovers
