now somewhere, somewhere, see now somewhere, somewhere,
see now somewhere, oh lord somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere
somewhere in the black mountain hills of dakota
there lives, lived a young boy named rocky, rocky raccoon
and one day his ol' woman ran off with another guy
that hit young Rocky in the eye, and rocky didn't like that
said I'm gonna get that boy
so one day he walked into town
and then he booked himself a room over at the local saloon
now 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 was jason v)
and his rival it seemed he had broken rocky's dreams
by stealing the girl of his fancy
her name was Magil but she called herself lil
but everyone knew her as nancy
now she and her man who had called himself dan
well they were in the next room over at the hoe down
and rocky burst in and he was grinnin a rocky grin
and he said danny boy this, this is a showdown
but daniel was hot, he drew first and shot
and rocky collapsed in the corner
well the doctor came in and he was stinking of little gin
and proceeded to lie on the table, up on the table
he said rocky you met your match
and rock says, no 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 shed back into his room
only to find gideon's bible
but gideon checked out but he left it no doubt
to help with good rocky's revival
oh rocky (mumbles)
and that is the story of rocky
that is the story of rocky
come on rocky
he could have been a goat boy
he could have been a rat bastard
oh rocky two times gonna play a little faster
well that's the story of rocky the goat rat bastard raccoon
