	Now somewhere in the black mining 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 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 Raccoon checked into his room
	Only to find Gideon's Bible
	Rocky had come equiped 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
	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.
	
	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 check out and he left it no doubt
	To help with good Rocky's revival.
