Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota
              D7sus4                   D7
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon
G7                                  C
And one day his woman ran off with another guy
C/B                   (Am7)
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                             (chanté)
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 hoe down                           (harmonica)

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, ah

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"

Now Rocky Raccoon, he fell back in his room
Only to find Gideon's bible (dum, dum dum dum)

Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt                      w/ (Oh, Rocky)
To help with good Rocky's revival                                  (Oh oh)
