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
    A                  D
His rival it seems had broken his dreams
    G                         C    B
By stealing the girl of his fancy.
    A              E         D                 A
Her name was Magill and she called herself Lil
        G        D          C  B
But everyone knew her as Nancy.
    A              E     D                 A
Now she and her man who called himself Dan
     G              D            C    B
Were in the next room at the hoe down
A             E    D               A
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
        G           D           C    B
He said Danny boy this is a showdown
    A             E     D                 A
But Daniel was hot – he drew first and shot
    G           D           C     B
And Rocky collapsed in the corner.

        A            E D               A
Now the doctor came in stinking of gin
       G           D           C  B
And proceeded to lie on the table
        A                        E
He said Rocky you met your match
      D                            A
Rocky said, Doc it’s only a scratch
            G                       G                 C      B
And I’ll be better   I’ll be better doc as soon as I am able

    A                     D
Now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room
G                        C  B
Only to find Gideon’s bible
A                         D
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
   G                              C  B
To help with good Rocky’s revival.
