La chanson raconte l'histoire d'un trappeur qui revient des lointaines terres sauvages, sale et chargé de peaux et de provisions. Il se rend chez un commerçant pour échanger ses marchandises, tout en parlant avec vantardise de son mode de vie. Il insiste sur le fait que ceux qui ne comprennent pas les lois de la nature sont mieux de le laisser faire son travail, car la vie dans la nature est impitoyable. Les hommes d'affaires qui profitent de ses efforts ne peuvent s'empêcher de l'admirer, reconnaissant que sans lui, leur succès serait peu probable. Le trappeur représente donc une figure indispensable sur laquelle s'appuient ceux qui souhaitent profiter des fruits de la nature sans en supporter les risques.
