"Wolverton Mountain" is a country music song and 1962 crossover hit that established Claude King's career as an American country singer-songwriter. The song was a cover of the original version by Merle Kilgore, which was based on a real person named Clifton Clowers (Kilgore's uncle). Clowers lived on Woolverton Mountain (the spelling was changed for the song), located 4 miles (6.4 km) north of Center Ridge, Arkansas, 50 miles (80 km) north of Little Rock. The song spent nine weeks at the top of the Billboard country chart in the United States in June and July 1962. A crossover hit, "Wolverton Mountain" reached number six on the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart and number three on the easy listening chart. In Canada, it was number one for three weeks and in the top 10 for 7 weeks.
