They say don't go on [D] over to the mountain if you're looking for [G] a wife, horse clipped
and [Em] clobbered, has [D] a pretty young daughter, she's mighty handy with a [G] gun and a knife,
but her tender [Am] lips are [G] sweeter than honey, and [A] over to the mountain road [D] takes her there.
The [G] bears and the birds tell [D] Clifton Cloward, if a stranger should [G] wonder there.
You know all my dreams are on [D] over to the mountain, I want his daughter for [G] my wife,
I'm gonna take my chances, I'm gonna [D] climb that mountain, though Clifton Cloward,
he may [G] take my life, her tender [Am] lips are [G] sweeter than honey, and [A] over to the mountain road [D] takes her there.
The [G] bears and the birds tell Clifton Cloward, if a stranger should [G] wonder there.
