[E]
They say don't go on Wolverton [B] Mountain
If you're looking
[E] for a wife
cause Clifton Flowers
Has a pretty young [B] daughter
Is mighty handy
with a [E] gun and knife
her [B] tender lips
are [B] sweeter than honey
[Gb] and Wolverton Mountain
protects [B] her there
The [E] bears and the birds
tell [B] Clifton Flowers
If a stranger
should [E] enter there
All of my dreams
are on [B] Wolverton Mountain
I want his daughter
for [E] my wife
I'll take my chances
and climb that mountain
Though Clifton Flowers
he might take [E] my life
Her [B] tender lips
are sweeter than honey
and Wolverton [Gb] Mountain
[B] protects her there
The [E] bears and the birds
tell Clifton [B] Flowers
If a stranger
should [E] enter there
[C]
I'm [Am] going up
[F] on Wolverton Mountain
It's just too lonesome
down here [F] below
It's just not right
to hide [C] his daughter
from the one
who loves [F] her so
Her tender [C] lips
are sweeter [C] than honey
[G] and Wolverton Mountain
protects [C] her there
[F] The bears and the birds
tell [C] Clifton Flowers
If a stranger
should wander there
[F]
I don't care about Clifton Flowers
[F] I'm going to climb up on his mountain
I'm [C]
going to [Gm] climb up on his mountain
Dark old [D] cave river
[D] Way down in
the state of Georgia
Through [A] the swamps and [D] everglades
There's a [G] hole
in [D] Tiger Mountain
God help the man
who [A] gets lost
in [D] Miller's Cave
I had a girl
in Waycross, Georgia
But [A] she had unfaithful ways
Made [G] me feel
I wasn't one
Like the bats
and the bears
in [D] Miller's Cave
I couldn't stand
the way she did me
Couldn't [A] take
her lowdown ways
Before [G] I'll stay
with a cheating [D] woman
I'll go live
with the bears
in [D] Miller's Cave
[Eb]
I caught her out
one Sunday morning
[Bb] With a man
they [Eb] call Big Dave
Meanest [Ab] man
in [Eb] Waycross, Georgia
I'd rather fight
a [Bb] mountain lion
in [Eb] Miller's Cave
I said you'll pay
Both you and Davey
I'm [Bb] gonna see
you in [Eb] your graves
They [Ab] laughed at me
and then [Eb] I shot them
I took their cheating [Bb] scheming bones
to [Eb] Miller's Cave
[E]
That woman made
me feel unwanted
But I showed [B] her
I [E] was brave
Most [A] wanted man
in [E] the state of Georgia
But they'll never find me
Cause I'm [B] lost
[Ab] in Miller's Cave
