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



But her tender lips are sweeter than honey

And Wolverton Mountain protects her there

The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clovers

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 I'll climb that mountain

Though Clifton Clovers may take my life



Her tender lips are sweeter than honey...



I'm a goin' up on Wolverton Mountain

It's too lonesome down here below

It's just not right to hide that daughter

From the one who loves her so



Cause her tender lips are sweeter than honey...



But I don't care about Clifron Clovers

I'm a gonna climb up on his mountain

I'm gonna take the girl I love I don't care about Clifron Clovers
