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 if a stranger should inter 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 Clovers he may take my life

Her tender lips..



I'm goin' go 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...



I don't care about Clifton Clovers I'm gonna climb up on his mountain

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