ROCKY RACOON (By Lennon/McCartney, 1968. Sung by Paul).

Now somewhere in the black mountains hills of dakota

there lived a young boy named Rocky Racoon

and one day his woman ran off with another guy

hit young Rocky in the eye

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 Racoon 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 Lill

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 shiwdown"

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 yor 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 Racoon he fell back in his room

only to find Gideon's Bible

Gildeon checked out

and he left it no doubt

to help with good Rocky's revival.
