Rocky raccoon

Now somewhere in the black minin' hills
Out Dakota there lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoo-oon.
One day his woman ran off with another guy.
Hit young Rocky in the ey-ye.
Rocky didn't like that. 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
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. Ah..

Da, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na..
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na..
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na,
Do, do, do, do, do, d-do.

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do..
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do..
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do,
Do, do, do, do, do, now.

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.
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. Ah.. Yeah, yeah.

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do..
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do..
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do,
Do, do, do, do, do, do..

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do.. C'mon, Rocky boy..
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do.. C'mon, Rocky boy..
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do,
Do, do, do, do, do, the story of Rocky Raccoon.
