It was a beautiful sunny morning, so we went for a drive,
Hiked 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.

I gave her a little hug, I 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 just right, you know I can.
I'm a mountain man.

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 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 go back.
Yeah I'm a mountain man.
A man with a plan.
You're in good hands.
Yeah, I'm your mountain man.

Awe don't cry honey, It's all gonna' be alright.
