- (Spoken:)
- [Am7]Now somewhere in the Black Mountain hills of [D7]Dakota
- there lived a young boy named Rocky Rac[G7]coon
- And one day his woman ran off with another guy
- [C]Hit young Rocky in the eye
- [C/B]Rocky didn't like that,
- [Am7]he said I'm gonna get that boy [D7]
- So one d[G7]ay he walked into town
- and booked himself a r[C]oom in a local s[C/B]aloon
-
- (Sing:)
- [Am7]Rocky Raccoon, checked i[D7]nto his room,
- o[G7]nly to find Gideon's Bi[C]ble. [C/B]
- [Am7]Rocky had come, e[D7]quipped with a gun,
- to s[G7]hoot off the legs of his ri[C]val [C/B]
- His ri[Am7]val it seems, had b[D7]roken his dreams,
- by s[G7]tealing the girl of his fan[C]cy [C/B]
- Her n[Am7]ame was McGill, And she c[D7]alled herself Lil,
- but e[G7]veryone knew her as N[C]ancy [C/B]
-
- 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.

-
- Now the doctor came in, stinking of gin, and proceeded to lie on the table
- He said, "Rocky, you met your match,"
- but 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 Gideons Bible
- Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
- to help with good Rocky's revival.
