Rocky Raccoon

Album 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 eye Rocky didn`t like that
He said "I`m gonna get that boy"
So one day he walked into the 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 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 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 saids "Rocky you met your much"
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
