They say don't go
On Wolverton Mountain
If you're lookin' for a wife
'Cause Clifton Clowers
(Doodle-oot-du.)
Has a pretty young daughter
(Doodle-oot-du.)
He's mighty handy
(Doodle-oot-du.)
With a gun and knife
(Doodle-oot-du.)
Her tender lips
(Her tender lips,)
Are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton Mountain
Protects her there
The bears and the birds
(Ooo, hoot-hoo.)
Tell Clifton Clowers
(Ooo, hoot-hoo.)
If a stranger
(Ooo, hoot-hoo.)
Should enter there
(Ooo, hoot-hoo.)
All of my dreams
Are on Wolverton Mountain
I want his daughter
For my wife
I'll take my chances
(Doodle-oot-du.)
And climb that mountain
(Doodle-oot-du.)
Though Clifton Clowers
(Doodle-oot-du.)
He might take my life
(Doodle-oot-du.)
Her tender lips
(Her tender lips,)
Are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton Mountain
Protects her there
The bears and the birds
(Ooo, hoot-hoo.)
Tell Clifton Clowers
(Ooo, hoot-hoo.)
If a stranger
(Ooo, hoot-hoo.)
Should enter there
(Ahhh-ahhh.)
I'm goin' go up
On Wolverton Mountain
It's just too lonesome
Down here below
It's just not right
(Doodle-oot-du.)
To hide his daughter
(Doodle-oot-du.)
From the one
(Doodle-oot-du.)
Who loves her so
(Doodle-oot-du.)
Her tender lips
(Her tender lips,)
Are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton Mountain
Protects her there
The bears and the birds
(Ooo, hoot-hoo.)
Tell Clifton Clowers
(Ooo, hoot-hoo.)
If a stranger
(Ooo, hoot-hoo.)
Should enter there
(Ooo, hoot-hoo.)
But, I don't care about Clifton Clowers
I'm gonna climb up on his mountain
(Fade.)
I'm gonna take the girl I love
I don't care about Clifron Clowers
