They say don't go on Wolverton Mountain
|
If you're looking for a wife
|
'Cause 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 birds tell Clifton Clowers
|
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, he may take my life.
|
|
Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
|
And Wolverton mountain protects her there
|
The bears and birds tell Clifton Clowers
|
If a stranger should wander 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 birds tell Clifton Clowers
|
If a stranger should wander there
|
|
But I don't care about Clifton Clowers
|
I'm gonna climb up on his mountain
|
I'm gonna take the girl I love
|
I don't care about Clifton Clowers
|
I'm a gonna climb up on that mountain
|
And I'll get the one I Iove
|
I don't care about Clifton Clowers,
|
I'm gonna find the one I love,
|
I don't care about Clifton Clowers
|
I'm gonna find the one I love (repeat and fade)
|
