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.

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
And 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

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