Wolverton Mountain-Louis Armstrong/Jan Howard

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
