INTRO: Am7   Am7   Am7   Am7

VERSE 1: (spoken)
Now somewhere in the Black Mountain hills of Dakota
There lived a young boy named 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 gonna get that boy
So one day he walked into town
And booked himself a room in the local saloon

VERSE 2:
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

VERSE 3:
Now she and her man who called himself Dan
Were in the next room at the hoe down
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
(1 pattern barrelhouse piano solo)
  
VERSE 4:
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
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
To help with good Rocky's revival

OUTRO: (repeat pattern w/ barrelhouse piano solo and fade)
