I spend lonely hours since she said goodbye
Play me hearts and flowers I wanna cry
All my ivory towers tumble from the sky
Play me hearts and flowers I wanna cry
You saw us together so you ought to know
Just why I feel like I do
Do me a favor I beg of you Joe
Play me a heartache or two
When a romance sours smiles are just a lie
Play me hearts and flowers and let me cry
Do me a favor I beg of you Joe
Now play me a heartache or two
Now when a romance sours smiles are just a lie
Play me hearts and flowers and let me cry
And let me cry

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 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 Clilfton Clowers, he may take my life
Her tender lips ....
I'm going up on Wolverton Mountain,
It's too lonely downhere below.
It's just not right to hide his dayghter
From the one who loves her so.
Her tender lips ...
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,
I'm gonna climb up on his mountain,
I'm gonna take the girl I love.
(repeat to fade)
