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 the birds
Tell Clifton Clowers
If a stranger should wander there.

I'm going up
On Wolverton Mountain

It's mighty 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 the birds
Tell Clifton Clowers
If a stranger should
Wander there
