They say don't go on
Wolverton Mountain
If you're looking for a wife
Cos 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 Wolverton Mountain
protects her there
The bears and the birds tell Clifton flowers
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 Clowers
may take my life,
Her tender lips are sweeter than honey,
And Wolverton Mountain
protects her there.
The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clowers
If a stranger should wander there
I'm going up, I'm going up
On Wolverton Mountain,
on that mountain
It's too low to see, it's too low to
I'm down here below, down here below
And it's just not right, it's just not right
To hide his daughter
from the one who loves her so
Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And Woolverton Mountain
protects her there
The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clowers
if a stranger should wander there
Well I don't care about Clifton Clowers
I'm gonna climb up on that mountain
I don't care about Clifton Clowers
I'm gonna find the one I love
I don't care about cliffs and flowers,
I'm a -gonna climb that mountain.
I don't care about cliffs and flowers,
I'm a -gonna climb that mountain.
