My dreams are blue, my schemes are blue
Everything I look at seems to turn to blue
Except the sky above, as gray as it can be, that follows me
An' my broken hearted song, marchin' along to the blues!
The traffic lights, shine overhead
They're the deepest blue instead of green an' red
Especially on the corner where we used to meet
I hear the beat, of a broken hearted song,
marchin' along to the blues!
instrumental break
You promised me, you would never make me cry
But look whatcha did, when you said goodbye!
The moon is blue, the stars are blue
Ever since they heard the news that we were through
They can't believe that after making you my own, I'd be alone
With a broken hearted song, marchin' along to the blues!
instrumental break
Oh! look whatcha did, when you said goodbye!
The moon is blue, the stars are blue
Ever since they heard the news that we were through
They can't believe that after making you my own, I'd be alone
With a broken hearted song, marchin' along to the blues!
With a broken hearted song, marchin' along to the blues!

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)
