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
|
|
But 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 I'll climb that mountain
|
Though Clifton Clovers may take my life
|
|
Her tender lips are sweeter than honey...
|
|
I'm a goin' up on Wolverton Mountain
|
It's too lonesome down here below
|
It's just not right to hide that daughter
|
From the one who loves her so
|
|
Cause her tender lips are sweeter than honey...
|
|
But I don't care about Clifron Clovers
|
I'm a gonna climb up on his mountain
|
I'm gonna take the girl I love I don't care about Clifron Clovers
|
