[Written by James "Kim" Gannon]
You'll be gone when the dawn comes tomorrow
You'll be far, far away out at sea
So I give you this *croce di oro*
It will bring you home safely to me
Ev'ry hour we're apart will be sorrow
In the chapel a candle will burn
Take my love and this *croce di oro*
I will pray for you 'til you return
My darling, my darling, my darling
Do you see that star in the blue
Each night I will give it a message
And the star will give it to you
'Til we meet on that far-off tomorrow
May the Good Lord be with you and then
With the help of this croce di oro
You'll be back in my arms once again
With the help of this croce di oro
You'll be back in my arms once again (croce di oro)

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)
