Utah Fishing ReportsI couldn’t find the lyrics nor the music for this song, but it was a part of a you tube video showing a guy cutting down a huge tree and missing two buildings with the falling of it. They gave credits for the song as “Rendezvous, by Jack Bowers”, but I couldn’t find anything on line. The song was pretty catchy and so I wrote down the words, here they are:
THESE OLD MOUNTAINS HOLD ME CLOSE
THESE OLD MOUNTAINS HOLD ME NEAR
I’M RUNNING LOW ON TRUST
AND I’M RUNNING LOW ON GEAR
SO SOON I’LL TAKE THE TRAIL
THAT LEADS ON DOWN TO RONDEEVOO
THEY ARE HAVIN DOWN ON LOWER GROUND
PACK UP THE MULES
PACK UP THE MULE
WELL I GOTTA GIT ALONG TO THE RONDEEVOO
MIKE AND JOE ARE COMIN
I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THEM THERE
THEY SPENT THE WINTER HUNTIN, TRAPPIN BEAVER
HUNTIN BEAR
DON’T THINK THAT THEY’LL BE TRADIN
FOR POWDER BEADS AND LEAD
THOSE BEAR HIDES THAT THEY HAVE
WILL MAKE A WARM AND COMFY BED
PACK UP THE MULES
PACK UP THE MULE
I GOTS TA GIT ALONG TO THE RONDEEVOOO
WE’LL CLAP AND SING A NEAT SONG
PUT ON LOTS OF FAT
SPIN YARNS AND TALL STORIES
ALL ABOUT THIS AND THAT
THEN HAVE US A CONTEST
TRY TO WIN SOME LOOT
IF’N WE’RE THE WINNER OF THE
DADBURN TURKEY SHOOT
OH YES—PACK UP THE MULES
PACK UP THE MULE
I GOTTA GIT ALONG TO THE RONDEEVOOO
MY MULE AND I BEEN HUNTIN
ABOVE THE OLD AL PINE
AND HIGH UP IN THEHILLS
TENDING OUR TRAP LINE
BUT SOMTIMES WE GET LONESOME
FOR NEEDIN US SOME FUN
BESIDES I GOT A HANKERIN FOR A BRAND NEW HAWKIN GUN
OH PACK UP THE MULES
PACK UP THE MULE
FOR I GOT TA GIT ALONG TO THE RONDEEEVVVOOOOOOOO
Just in case somebody want to put the words to music.

He’s actually singing “I’m running low on drugs, I’m running low on gear”, as “gear” is a slang word for drugs.
Oh, and “Rondeevoo”? The name of the song is “Rendezvous”, so..? 😉
Obviously you ain’t nar regular.
Jack Bowers, from Packwood, Washington. The album is Packwood Livin’. I love the whole album.

Thank you Clark!

I’m hearing “runnin’ low on drunk” as in alcohol. booze is often often termed as “drunk” in many country songs
Love this, just an awsome vid and tune. Friggin perfect
Found it put to music on a tree chopping video!
What is the tree chopping video link?
Hes known as “many Strings” so if you are trying to find his music look under that as the artist name.
Jack is a song writer and stringed instrument builder in Packwood , WA now living In Ryderwood, WA very talented brother I have there he has a CD out called Packwood Living that song is on
I loved that video, and this music.
