Wolverton Mountain Lyrics - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

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
