Mountain Man

It was a beautiful Sunday morning So we went for a drive To hike up in the mountains And we lost track of time Kissin’ and a-huggin’ We 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? That coyote howls And the grizzly bear he growls But I can get you through the night Oh yes I can I’m a mountain man 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 buckknife I can carve a hook Pull a fish from a brook Get a big one with a gun Except tonight I don’t really have one But that’s half the fun Aw you know I’m only kiddin’ hon… 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 can cook him up just right You know I can I’m a mountain man We can pick berries in the moonlight Cause I know which ones to eat How to recognize poison ivy If you go looking for leaves 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 kill us an elk I can rattle a deer I can grow you a big old bushy beard And live up here all year and never go back Yeah, I’m a mountain man Man with a plan You’re in good hands I’m your mountain man Aw don’t cry honey It’s all gonna be alright
