Fm
Now somewhere in the black mining hills of Dakota

B
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon

E
And one day his woman ran off with another guy

A                           A*
Hit young Rocky in the eye

Fm
Rocky didn't like that

        B
He said I'm gonna get that boy

       E
So one day he walked into town

                             A                A*
Booked himself a room in the local saloon.




Fm            B
Rocky Raccoon checked into his room

E                             A     A*
Only to find Gideon's bible

Fm             B
Rocky had come equipped with a gun

E                                  A     A*
To shoot off the legs of his rival

Fm                 B
His rival it seems had broken his dreams


E                                 A      A*
By stealing the girl of his fancy.

Fm                 B
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil

E                              A      A*
But everyone knew her as Nancy.

Fm                  B
Now she and her man who called himself Dan

E                                    A     A*
Were in the next room at the hoedown

Fm             B
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin

E                                    A     A*
He said Danny boy this is a showdown

Fm                 B
But Daniel was hot-he drew first and shot

E                                  A     A*
And Rocky collapsed in the corner.




Fm                 B
The doctor came in stinking of gin

E                                 A     A*
And proceeded to lie on the table

Fm
He said Rocky you met your match

B
And Rocky said, Doc it's only a scratch

E                                                A         A*
And I'll be better I'll be better doc as soon as I am able.




Fm                B
Now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room

E                           A    A*
Only to find Gideon's bible

Fm                 B
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt

E                             A      A*
To help with good Rocky's revival.
