[Words by Mack David; music by Fred Spielman]
(verse)
It's all over town that we've parted,
And ev'ryone knows that we're through;
They see me alone broken hearted
Crying the blues for you.
(refrain)
It only hurts for a little while,
That's what they tell me,
That's what they say.
It only hurts for a little while,
Then all your heartaches will pass away.
It's so easy to be smart
With somebody else's heart,
But I don't know how to start forgetting you,
What can I do?
It only hurts for a little while
That's what they tell me,
"Just wait and see."
But I will hurt till you come back to me.

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)
