Wolverton Mountain Lyrics - 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 

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 

And Wolverton Mountain protects her there 

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 Wolverton Mountain protects her there 

The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clowers 

If a stranger should wander there 

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 a gonna climb up on that mountain 

And I'll get the one I love
