Claude King - Wolverton Mountain lyrics

rate me

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 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 that mountain

Though Clifton Clowers he might take my life

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey...

The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clowers if a stranger should wander there

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

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey...

And 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 Clifron Clovers

I'm gonna climb up on that mountain and I'll get the one I love
