Lyrics:

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
You know all my dreams, are on Wolverton Mountain, I want his daughter, for my wife
I'm gonna take my chances, I'm gonna climb that mountain
Though Clifton Clovers, he may take my life
Her tender lips are, are sweeter than honey, and Wolverton Mountain protects her there
The bears and the birds, tell Clifton Clovers, if a stranger should wander there
Oh, 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
Oh, her tender lips are, are sweeter than honey, and Wolverton Mountain, protects her there
The bears and the birds, tell Clifton Clovers, if a stranger, should wander there
But I don't care about Clifton Clovers, I'm gonna climb up on his mountain
I'ma gonna get that girl I love, I don't care about Clifton Clovers
I'm gonna climb up on that mountain, I'm gonna get that girl I love
