 ->  ->  ->  ->  ->
Now  somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota,
 There lived a young  boy named Rocky Raccoon(na)
 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
Rock  Raccoon checked into  his room
Only  to find Gideon's bible
Rocky  had come equipped  with the gun
 to shoot  off the legs of his rival
 His rival it seems had broken his dreams
 By stealing the girls 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
 Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
 He said Danny boy this is a show down
 Daniel was hot he drew first and shot
 And Rocky collapsed in the corner
 Da, da, da, da, da
 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
 Ah, oh yeah, yeah
 Da, da, da, da
