Rocky Raccoon
Lyrics
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
He hit young Rocky in the eye

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

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
