Rocky Raccoon

by The Beatles
on The Beatles (The White Album)

Lyrics

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.

LOVE this song. I taught it to my daughter when she was little on her way to school. Her parochial carpool friends were introduced to rock-n-roll!
had the white album at 21 and loved to hear it.
Hmmmm is the even really a song? Whatever it is its great.

RIP John Lennon 12/08/09
Imagine if he were still here to see what our world has become.He thought it was bad then lol.I hope he is somewhere were he is happy and in peace.He was a great artist, song writer.Peace Jonh....
great song
I think this is a cool song. I don't think he was trying to go completely country; I think he was just trying to utilize some country to make something different.

er.. fail....
I think they did a pretty good job. And I concur with Kathy; this song is different.
One of my favorites of the white album. So many great songs on the white album, dear prudence, happiness is a warm gun, helter skelter, while my guitar gently weeps... I can't get enough of em

I think that this song could have a better tune, but I can say one thing: Beatles can't do country
herecomes2mo r r o w
ok, dude fakes a country accent REAL bad! (and he says "raccoon" wierd, too) interesting song, though.
second favorite song on the white ablum (next to revolution 9)
I love it, a revenge act gone very wrong that just makes you want to sing!
I know that some people conside this to be a children's song. But when the album came out, my sister and I listened to it all the time, and the violence and starkness of this song really shocked me.
best song ever written.
.......her name was mcgill...... . . . s h e called herself lil.......bu t all of her friends knew her as nancy....... . .
