Wolverton Mountain

Merle Kilgore / Claude King


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

Chorus:
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 {wander, enter} 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

Chorus

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

Chorus

I'm a gonna going up on Wolverton Mountain I don't care about Clifron Clovers
I'm a gonna going up on Wolverton Mountain even if it takes me a hundred hours
I'm a gonna going up on Wolverton Mountain I don't care about Clifron Clovers
