They say don't go on the 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 the Wolverton Mountain protects her there

The bears and birds tell Clifton Clowers
If a stranger should wander there
All of my dreams are on the Wolverton Mountain
I want his daughter for my wife

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And the Wolverton Mountain protects her there

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And the Wolverton Mountain protects her there

The bears and birds tell Clifton Clowers
If a stranger should wander there
All of my dreams are in Wolverton Mountain
I want his daughter for my wife

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And the Wolverton Mountain protects her there

I'll take my chances and climb that mountain
Though Clifton Clowers, he may take my life
I'm going up on the Wolverton Mountain
It's too lonesome down here below

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton Mountain protects her
