Wolverton Mountain

(앨범: Ramblin' Rose - 1962)

They say don't go
On Wolverton Mountain
If you're looking for a wife
'Cause Clifton Clowers
(Doodle-oot-du)
Has a pretty young daughter
(Doodle-oot-du)
He's mighty handy
(Doodle-oot-du)
With a gun and knife
(Doodle-oot-du)

Her tender lips
(Her tender lips)
Are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton Mountain
Protects her there
The bears and the birds
(Ooo, hoot-hoo)
Tell Clifton Clowers
(Ooo, hoot-hoo)
If a stranger
(Ooo, hoot-hoo)
Should enter there
(Ooo, hoot-hoo)

All of my dreams
Are on Wolverton Mountain
I want his daughter
For my wife
I'll take my chances
(Doodle-oot-du)
And climb that mountain
(Doodle-oot-du)
Though Clifton Clowers
(Doodle-oot-du)
He might take my life
(Doodle-oot-du)

Her tender lips
(Her tender lips)
Are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton Mountain
Protects her there
The bears and the birds
(Ooo, hoot-hoo)
Tell Clifton Clowers
(Ooo, hoot-hoo)
If a stranger
(Ooo, hoot-hoo)
Should enter there
(Ahhh-ahhh)

I'm going go up
On Wolverton Mountain
It's just too lonesome
Down here below
It's just not right
(Doodle-oot-du)
To hide his daughter
(Doodle-oot-du)
From the one
(Doodle-oot-du)
Who loves her so
(Doodle-oot-du)

Her tender lips
(Her tender lips)
Are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton Mountain
Protects her there
The bears and the birds
(Ooo, hoot-hoo)
Tell Clifton Clowers
(Ooo, hoot-hoo)
If a stranger
(Ooo, hoot-hoo)
Should enter there
(Ooo, hoot-hoo)

But, 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
