[[ Am7   |  D7sus4,  D7  |  G7    |  C    ]] repeat throughout

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
Booked himself a room in the local saloon

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

Now she and her man, who called himself Dan
Where in the next room at the hoedown
Rocky burst in and grinned in 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”& Rocky said, “Doc, it’s only a scratch
& I’ll be better, I’ll be better, Doc, as soon as I am able”

And 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, oh, ooh, yeah, yeah

Come on Rocky boy, do the do-do-do
Da-n-da da da-n-da da da…
