Wolverton Mountain

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
Of a stranger should enter there

All of my dreams on Wolverton Mountain
I want his daughter for my wife
I'll take my chances and climb his mountain
Though Clifton Clovers may take my life

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton Mountain protects her there
The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clovers
Of a stranger should enter there

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

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton Mountain protects her there
The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clovers
Of a stranger should enter there

I'm a gonna going up on Wolverton Mountain
I don't care about Clifton Clovers
I'm a gonna going up on Wolverton Mountain
Even if it takes me a hundred hours
I'm a gonna going up on Wolverton Mountain
I don't care about Clifton Clovers
