Now somewhere in the Black Mountain hills of Dakota
G7
there lived a young boy named Rocky Rac coon
And one day his woman ran off with another guy

Hit young Rocky in the eye

Am7 D7

So one d ay he walked into town
C C/B
and booked himself a r oom in a local s aloon

Am7 D7
Rocky Raccoon, checked i nto his room,
G7 C C/B
o nly to find Gideon's Bi ble.

Rocky had come, e quipped with a gun,
G7 C C/B
to s hoot off the legs of his ri val
Am7 D7
His ri val it seems, had b roken his dreams,
G7 C C/B
by s tealing the girl of his fan cy
Am7 D7
Her n ame was McGill, And she c alled herself Lil,
G7 C C/B
but e veryone knew her as N ancy
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.

Now the doctor came in, stinking of gin, and proceeded to lie on the table
He said, "Rocky, you met your match,"
but 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 Gideons Bible
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
to help with good Rocky's revival.
