Wolverton Mountain

Nat King Cole

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 
(Her tender lips) 
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 

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey 
(Her tender lips) 
And Wolverton Mountain protects her there 
The bears and 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 
(Her tender lips) 
And Wolverton Mountain protects her there 
The bears and birds tell Clifton Clowers 
If a stranger should wander there 

But I don't care about Clifton Clowers 
I'm-a gonna climb up on his mountain 
I'm-a gonna take the girl I love 

I don't care about Clifton Clovers 
I'm-a gonna climb up on that mountain 
And I'll get the woman I love 

I don't care about Clifton Clovers 
I'm-a gonna the one I love 
I'm-a gonna climb up on that mountain 
And I'll get
