There's a house, on the corner
On the corner of the street
In the house you're the pretty
The pretty little gal
Who'll make my life complete
CHORUS: Tonight, tonight put a light in the window
To prove that you love me let it shi-i-ine
Tonight, tonight put a light in the window
Tonight's the night I'm gonna make you mine
Gonna go tell your mother
Baby brother, father too
Let them know there's no other
No there's not another one
Who'll love you like I do
CHORUS
Dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum ditty dum dum dum
You pretty little gal you're more than I deserve
Dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum ditty dum dum dum
Gonna climb the stairs, gonna ring that bell
Before I lose my nerve
Got a ring for your finger, third finger of your hand
Put a light in the window
Cause tonight you're gonna get a golden wedding band
CHORUS
Oh tonight's the night I'm gonna make you mine
Put a light in the window
And my pretty little gal you'll make my life complete |
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)
