Rocky Racoon

ROCKY RACOON- The Beatles

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 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 Magil 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 hoe down

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"

And 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

And one day his woman ran off with another guy

Hit young Rocky in the eye

So one d[G7]ay he walked into town

and booked himself a r[C]oom in a local s[C/B]aloon

(Sing:)

Rocky Raccoon, checked i[D7]nto his room,

o[G7]nly to find Gideon's Bi[C]ble. [C/B]

Rocky had come, e[D7]quipped with a gun,

to s[G7]hoot off the legs of his ri[C]val [C/B]

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 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
