Rocky Racoon

[Verse 1]

Now somewhere in the black mining hills of Dakota

There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon

And one day his woman ran off with another guy

Hit young Rocky in the eye

Rocky didn't like that

He said, "I'm gonna get that boy"

So one day he walked into town

Booked himself a room in the local saloon

[Hook]

And Rocky Raccoon checked into his room

Only to find Gideon's bible

But Rocky had come equipped with a gun

To shoot off the legs of his rival

[Verse 2]

His rival it seems had broken his dreams

By stealing the girl of his fancy

Her name was Magill, and she called herself Lil

But everyone knew her as Nancy

Now, she and her man, who called himself Dan

Were in the next room at the hoe-down

And Rocky burst in, and grinning a grin

He said, "Danny boy, this is a showdown"

But Daniel was hot, he drew first and shot

And Rocky collapsed in the corner

[Instrumental bridge]

[Verse 3]

Now the doctor came in stinking of gin

And proceeded to lie on the table

He said, "Rocky, you met your match"

And Rocky said, "Doc, it's only a scratch

And I'll be better, I'll be better, Doc, as soon as I am able"

[Hook]

And now Rocky Raccoon, he fell back in his room

Only to find Gideon's bible

Gideon checked out, and he left it no doubt

To help with good Rocky's revival

[Outro]

C'mon, Rocky boy

C'mon, Rocky boy
