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 wander there
You know all my dreams are on Wolverton Mountain I want his daughter for my wife
I`m gonna take my chances and climb that mountain
Though Clifton Clovers he may take my life
Her tender lips...
Oh 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
Oh her tender lips...
But I don`t care about Clifron Clovers I`m gonna climb up on his mountain
I`m a gonna take the one I love I don`t care about Clifron Clovers
I`m gonna climb up on that mountain I`m gonna get that girl I love
