"Rocky Raccoon" lyrics - JAMES BLUNT

JAMES BLUNT
"Rocky Raccoon"

Rocky Racoon, he was a fool unto himself
For he would not swallow, his foolish pride
Mind you, coming from a little town in Minnesota
It is not the kind of thing a young guy did
When a fellow went and stole his chick away from him
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 it seems had broken his dreams
By stealing the girl of his fancy
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
But everyone knew her as Nancy
Now she and her man who called himself Dan
Were in the next room at the hoe down
And Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
He said Danny Boy this is a showdown
But Daniel was hot, he drew fast and shot
And Rocky collapsed in the corner
Da la la dum ba dum da da
Da la la dum ba dum da da
Da la la dum ba dum da da
The doctor walked in stinking of gin
Proceeded to lie on the table
The doctor said "Rock, you met your match, Son"
Rocky said, no it's only a scratch
I'll be better, Doc, I'll be better soon
Well come on Rock, come on Rock
Rocky Raccoon fell back in his room
Only to find Gideon's Bible
Gideon checked out and he left him no doubt
To hell with good Rocky's revival
