Rocky Raccoon

Rocky Raccoon

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 at 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 fance
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've 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 with no doubt
To help with good Rocky's revival
