v.1
They say don't go on Wolverton Mountain
If you're searchin' for a wife
Cause Clifton Clowers has a pretty young daughter
He's mighty handy with a gun and a knife

Refrain:
Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton Mountain protects her there

v.2
The bears and the 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
Tho Clifton Clowers might take my life

Rep. Ref.

v.3
Well I'm goin' 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

I'll take my chances and climb that mountain
Tho Clifton Clowers might take my life

Rep. Ref.
