Claude King (February 5, 1923 – March 7, 2013) was an American country music singer and songwriter, best known for his million selling 1962 hit, "Wolverton Mountain".
King was born in Keithville in southern Caddo Parish south of Shreveport in northwestern Louisiana. At a young age, he was interested in music but also in athletics and the outdoors. He purchased a guitar at the age of twelve, and although he learned to play, most of his time was devoted to sports. He received a baseball scholarship to the University of Idaho at Moscow, Idaho.
From 1942 to 1945, he served in the United States Navy during World War II.
King formed a band with his friends Buddy Attaway and Tillman Franks called the Rainbow Boys. The trio played around Shreveport in their spare time while working an assortment of other jobs. He joined the Louisiana Hayride, a television and radio show produced at the Shreveport Municipal Auditorium and broadcast throughout the United States and in the United Kingdom. King was frequently on the same programs with Elvis Presley, Tex Ritter, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Webb Pierce, Kitty Wells, Jimmie Davis, Slim Whitman, Faron Young, Johnny Horton, Jim Reeves, George Jones, Tommy Tomlinson, and Lefty Frizzell.

Genres: Musical,Would you care if I should leave you would you care if we should part
Would your heartache just a little tell me darling would you care
Lift your eyes to mine my darling let me see the love like that
For you know I love you dearly and to me there's none so fair
Yet in time I often wonder would you care if I dare
Tell you that my love had vanished tell me sweetheart would you care
Would you care if I should leave you would you care if we should part
Would you care if someone told you that another won my heart
Would you care if you found me mostly held in someone's arms
Would your heartache just a little tell me darling would you care
[ ac.guitar ]
Just suppose that I should leave you and tomorrow I'd be gone
Would your sweet lips still remember the kisses that we've known
Would you want me back my darling would your heart still feel the same
Would the lonely tears shown in your eyes each time you hear my name
