Now s^Am7omewhere in the black mining hills out Dakota There ^D7suslived a young boy name of Rocky Rac^D7coon And ^G7one day his woman ran off with a^Cnother guy

Rocky didn't like that, he ^Am7said, "I'm goin^D7g to get that boy." So one ^G7day he walked into town and ^Gbooked himself a room in the ^Clocal

^Am7Rocky Racoon checked ^D7into his room ^G7only to find Gideon's ^CBible ^Am7Rocky had come e^D7quipped with a gun to ^G7shoot off the legs of his ^Crival. His ^Amrival, it seems, had ^D7broken his dreams by ^G7stealing the girl of his ^Cfancy Her ^Am7name was McGill, and she ^D7called herself 'Lil' But ^G7everyone knew her as ^CNancy.

Now ^Am7she and her man (who ^D7called himself Dan) Were ^G7in the next room at the ^Choedown ^Am7Rocky burst in, and ^D7grinning a grin, he said, &^G7quot;Danny boy, this ^Cis a showdown."

But ^Am7Daniel was hot. He ^D7drew first and shot and ^G7Rocky col^Glapsed in the ^Ccorner.

Now the ^Am7doctor came in ^D7stinking of gin and ^G7proceeded to lie on the ^Ctable.

He said, &^Am7quot;Rocky, you met your match." But Rockey said, &^D7quot;Doc, it's only a scratch. And I'll be ^G7better... I'll be better Doc as ^Gsoon as I am ^Cable."

Now ^Am7Rocky Raccoon, he fell ^D7back in his room ^G7only to find Gideon's ^Cbible. ^Am7Gideon checked out, and he ^D7left it no dobt to ^G7help with good Rocky's re^Cvival.
