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
