Song lyrics
Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota, 
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon(na) 
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 equipped with the 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 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 
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin 
He said Danny boy this is a show down 

But Daniel was hot he drew first and shot 
And Rocky collapsed in the corner 
Da, da, da, da, da 

Now 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 

And 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 
Ah, oh yeah, yeah 
Do, do, do, do... 

Cmon Rocky boy 
Cmon Rocky boy

I HATED this song wen i first herad it, but then i actually listend to it and now i think its one ov the best on the album. its very randum tho. is it just me, or do the beatles seemd to have written a lot of random little story songs such as rocky racoon, bangalow bill, obla-di obla-da etc? not a bad thing, just made me wonder....

Yes this song is random but if you read about The Beatles you realise that every song they wrote had this great meaning behind it. They could write about anything! For example the song "Being For the Benefit of Mr Kite" was written directly from a circus poster. But this is what made them so different, they dont just sing about love. Every song of theirs is different and has a different meaning. I love them and this song!
