well Rayburn Crane he rode these mountains

like the streams he rode 'em through

Through the Farewell Gap and the Franklin Lakes

Up North to Chagupa Plateau

With the government men

and the hunters and the dudes

And the leaders of the business world

Yea Rayburn Crane was a packhorse man

And a mighty good hand with a mule

Rayburn Crane Rayburn Crane

The Mountains and the

Valleys and the Trees Remember your name

He rode 45 years through the mountains

And the valleys just a-pullin' them strings of mules

And the ropes and the chaps and the halters

And the saddles well these were

Rayburn's tools Sittin' down at night by the firelight

Talkin' and a-pullin' at the whiskers on his chin

You didn't need no music when

Rayburn went to talkin' 'bout the mountains

and the packhorse men

Rayburn Crane Rayburn Crane

The Mountains and the

Valleys and the Trees Remember your name

Well the business men they bought these mountains

for a big time ski resort

An Ol' Rayburn he's gone down to die in a

Three Rivers' trailer court

And the canvas-flapjack-cooktent moans with the bushes

and the trees in the wind

'Cause there ain't no place in a ski resort

for a mule skinnin' packhorse man

Rayburn Crane Rayburn Crane

The Mountains and the

Valleys and the Trees Remember your name

Rayburn Crane Rayburn Crane

The Mountains and the

Valleys and the Trees Remember your name
