Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt And now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room Were in the next room at the hoedown He hit young Rocky in the eye To shoot off the legs of his rival Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota So one day he walked into town Rocky burst in and grinning a grin To help with good Rocky's revival Publishers: SONY BEATLES LTD, SONY/ATV TUNES LLC And one day his woman ran off with another guy Songwriters: John Lennon, Paul Mccartney Booked himself a room in the local saloon And Rocky said, “Doc it's only a scratch But everyone knew her as Nancy Only to find Gideon's bible He said, “Rocky you met your match” Her name was Magill and she called herself Lil And I'll be better, I'll be better Doc as soon as I am able” And Rocky collapsed in the corner But Daniel was hot he drew first and shot He said, “Danny boy this is a showdown” Rocky had come equipped with a gun Rock Raccoon checked into his room Rocky didn't like that he said I'm gonna get that boy There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon By stealing the girl of his fancy Now she and her man, who called himself Dan Now the doctor came in stinking of gin Only to find Gideon's bible His rival it seems had broken his dreams And proceeded to lie on the table
