Wolverton Mountain Merle Kilgore and Claude King, 1962
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.
Her tender lips are sweeter than honey And Wolverton Mountain protects her there. The bears and birds tell Clifton Clowers If a stranger should wander 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 Clilfton Clowers, he may take my life
Her tender lips ....
I'm going up on Wolverton Mountain, It's too lonely downhere below. It's just not right to hide his dayghter From the one who loves her so.
Her tender lips ...
But I don't care about Clifton Clowers, I'm gonna climb up on his mountain, I'm gonna take the girl I love . I don't care about Clifton Clowers, I'm gonna climb up on his mountain, I'm gonna take the girl I love.
