[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Rayburn Crane he rode these mountains like
the [C]streams he rode 'em [G]through
Through the Farewell Gap
and the [Em]Franklin Lakes
Up [A]North to [D]Chagupa Plateau
With [G]the government men and
the hunters and the dudes
And [C]the leaders [Ab]of t[G]he business world
Yea, Rayburn Crane [Em]was
a packhorse man
[D]And a mighty good hand [G]with a mule.

[Verse 2]
[G]
Rayburn [B]Crane, Ray[Em]burn [C]Crane
The Mountains and the
[D]Valleys and the Trees
Remember [G]your name.

[Verse 3]
[G]
He rode 45 years through the mountains
And the valleys just a-pullin'
them [Ab]them strings [G]of mules
And the ropes and the chaps
[Em]and the halters
And the saddles well [A]these were
Rayburn's [D]tools Sit[G]tin' down
at night by the firelight
Talkin' and a-pullin' [C]at at
the whiskers [G]on his chin
You didn't [C]need no music when
Ray[G]burn went to talkin' 'bout the
[D]mountains and the packhorse [G]men.

[Verse 4]
Rayburn [B]Crane,
Ray[Em]burn [C]Crane
The Mountains [D]and the
Valleys and the Trees Remember [G]your

[Verse 5]
Well [G]the business men they bought these
mountains for [C]a big time ski resort
[G]An Ol' Rayburn he's
[Em]gone down to die in a
[A]Three Rivers' trailer [D]court
And the can[G]vas-flapjack-cooktent moans moans
with the [C]bushes and the trees in [G]the wind
'Cause there ain't no place in [Em]a ski resort
for [D]a mule skinnin' packhorse [G]man.

[Verse 6]
Rayburn [B]Crane, Ray[Em]burn [C]Crane
The [D]Mountains and the
Valleys and the Trees
Remember your [G]name.

[Verse 7]
Rayburn [B]Crane, [Em]Rayburn [C]Crane
The Mountains [G]and the
Valleys and the [D]Trees Remember your
