Wolverton Mountain

(Merle Kilgore - Claude King)



They say don't go on Wolverton Mountain

If you're lookin' 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 the birds tell Clifton Clowers

If a stranger should enter there.



All of my dreams are on Wolverton Mountain

I want his daughter for my wife

I'll take my chances and climb his mountain

Though Clifton Clowers may take my life.



Her tender lips are sweeter than honey

And Wolverton Mountain protects her there

The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clowers

If a stranger should enter there.



Well, I'm a goin' 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 the birds tell Clifton Clowers

If a stranger should enter there.



I'm a goin' up on Wolverton Mountain

I don't care about Clifton Clowers.



I'm a goin' up on Wolverton Mountain

Even if it takes me a hundred hours.

I'm a goin' up on Wolverton Mountain

I don't care about Clifton Clowers...
