"Rocky Raccoon" lyrics

Rocky Raccoon

Now somewhere in the Black Mountain 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

Rocky Raccoon
Checked into his room
Only to find Gideon's Bible
Rocky had come
Equipped with a gun
To shoot off the legs of his rival

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 hoedown
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

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"

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
Oh yeah, yeah

Come on, Rocky boy
Come on, Rocky boy
The story of Rocky there
