Yes, I'm the girl
From Wolverton Mountain
I wish someone would

Make me their wife

I can't help being lonesome

On Wolverton Mountain
When your daddy's handy
With a gun and a knife


[Chorus]
They said my lips

Were sweeter than honey
But how do they know
When no one's made the dare

I hate the bears and the birds
On Wolverton Mountain
They tell my daddy

And it just ain't fair

Many a lad has tried

To climb this mountain
But they never seem
To reach the top


My daddy, Clifton Clowers
Is always there to meet them

His gun and a knife
Bring them to a stop


[Chorus]

Yes, I'm the girl

From Wolverton Mountain
And if something don't change
I'll be an old maid all my life


But I keep hoping somebody
Will climb this mountain

And take me to the valley
To be his wife


[Chorus]

There'll be somebody

Who really loves me and
He'll climb up on the mountain
He won't be killed by Clifton Clowers...
