Get the chick safely down from the mountain, only to find a draft notice awaiting.

You must know that the places where this song was most popular sacrificed the most.

Jeezus, 'Ol Clifton lived to one hundred and f*cking two!

And Claude King passed at age 90.

Clifton Clowers[edit]

Clifton T. Clowers was born on 30 October 1891, at Center Ridge, Arkansas, son of Thomas Jefferson Clowers and Mary Prince Clowers. In July 1919 he married Esther Bell.

He was a veteran of World War I and a deacon in the Mountain View Baptist Church. He was immortalized by the success of "Wolverton Mountain", originally written by his nephew Merle Kilgore.[4][5] He lived most of his life on a farm located on the northern edge of Woolverton Mountain.

On his 100th birthday Clowers was visited by both writers of the song, King and Kilgore.[6] He died at the age of 102 on 15 August 1994 at his home in Clinton, Arkansas, and was buried at the Woolverton Mountain Cemetery.
