They say don't go on Wolverton Mountain if you're looking for a wife   Cause Clifton Clovers has a pretty young daughter   And 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 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 Clovers he may take my life   Her tender lips...      I'm gonna 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 Clifron Clovers I'm gonna climb up on his mountain   I'm gonna take the one I love I don't care about Clifron Clovers   I'm gonna climb up on that mountain
