(Merle Kilgore - Claude King)

verse 1
They say don't go on Wolverton Mountain
If you're lookin' for a wife
'Coz Clifton Clowers has a pretty young daughter
He's mighty handy with a gun and a knife.

verse 2
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.

verse 3
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.

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 enter there.

verse 4
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.

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 enter there.

I'm a goin' up on Wolverton Mountain
I don't care about Clifton Clowers.

verse 5
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...
This song is from the album "It's My Way (Decca)".
