		Now somewhere in the black mining hills out Dakota
		There lived a young boy name of 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 going to get that boy."
		So one day he walked into town and booked himself a room in the local
		saloon.

		Rocky Racoon 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 McGill, 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. He drew first and shot
		and Rocky collapsed in the corner.

		Da-n-da da da-n-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."
		But Rocket 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.

		Gideon checked out, and he left it no dobt
		to help with good Rocky's revival.

		Oh yeah, yeah
		Da-n-da da da-n-da da da...
