It was a beautiful sunny morning, so we went for a drive
Hacked up in the mountains, and we lost track of time
A kissin' and a huggin', never saw the sun go down
I said "Baby we're lost", and she proceeded to freak out
So I said
Baby, baby, don't panic, I know how to cook bannock
I can build you a fire, I know you're tired, ain't this romantic?
And that coyote howls, and the grizzly bear he growls
I can get you through the night, oh yes I can, I'm a mountain man
Well, I gave her a little hug, said, "There's no need to cry"
I used to be a beaver scout all I need is this Buck knife
I can carve a hook, pull fish from a brook and I bang on with a gun
Except tonight I don't really have one, and well, that's half the fun
Awe you know I'm only kiddin' Hun
Baby, baby, don't panic, I know how to cook bannock
I can build you a fire, I know you're tired, ain't this romantic?
I know you're a city girl, but if you had to you could eat a squirrel
Yeah I'd cook him up real nice, you know I can, I'm a mountain man
(Bridge)
We could pick berries in the moonlight, 'cause I know which ones to eat
How to recognize poison ivy, should you go lookin' for leaves
Baby, baby, don't panic, I'm a mountain man
Baby baby don't panic, I know how to cook bannock.
I can build you a fire, I know you're tired, ain't this romantic?
I can bugle an elk, I can rattle a deer, I can grow you a big ol' bushy beard
And live up here all year and never look back, yeah, I'm a mountain man
