Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Wolverton Mountain lyrics

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 (repeat and fade)
