Checking the trap lines Down by the river The cool Fall air Sending a slight shiver There was no doubt about it Winter was on the way But he loved the mountain man life And wouldn't have it anyother way Living in town Was out of the question And brought a grimace to his face At just the suggestion An 18th century man In today's modern time That made no sense to him No reason nor rhyme But to each their own He lived and let live Slow to anger And quick to forgive With his simple life He was so content As just living in nature His life was spent The mountain man life In a little cabin in the woods For that my friends I would give up all this world's goods.

Checking the trap lines Down by the river The cool Fall air Sending a slight shiver There was no doubt about it Winter was on the way But he loved the mountain man life And wouldn't have it anyother way Living in town Was out of the question And brought a grimace to his face At just the suggestion An 18th century man In today's modern time That made no sense to him No reason nor rhyme But to each their own He lived and let live Slow to anger And quick to forgive With his simple life He was so content As just living in nature His life was spent The mountain man life In a little cabin in the woods For that my friends I would give up all this world's goods.
