Wolverton Mountain(also found elsewhere.)

(I'll bet no-one else here is old enough to remember this one!)

Wolverton Mountain

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."

(REFRAIN):
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 Clifton Clowers, he may take my life.

(REFRAIN)

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

(REFRAIN)

But I don’t care about Clifton Clowers
I’m gonna climb up on his mountain
I’m gonna take the girl I love
(repeat and fade)
