  intro 
  ----- 
   
  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...
