Based on the Andrew Wyeth tempura Raccoon (1958) -http://www.andrewwyeth.org/images/gallery4/Raccoon-1958.jpg

lyrics

Young Raccoon
Tell me what you do
To deserve this chain

Young Raccoon
Tell me what you do
To deserve the fleas that bear your name

But there’s hope for you yet
And don’t you forget
When you’re beaten down for weeping
It’s hollow and it’s cold
And it’s all you’ve ever know
When masters gun will echo across the plains

Autumns at it's end
And winters closing in
The foods short and the water barrels freezing

Mothers growing sick
Masters always drunk
And fathers just a shadow

But there’s hope for you yet
And don’t you forget
When you’re beating down for weeping
It’s hollow and it’s cold
And it’s all you’ve ever know
When masters gun will echo across the plains

In the stillness of the night
I hear that shotgun load
And master will call my mothers name
Though I’ll beg her not to go
She’ll left her weary bones
With a tear drop falling from her face

But there’s hope for you yet
And don’t you forget
When you’re beating down for weeping
It’s hollow and it’s cold
And it’s all you’ve ever know
When masters gun has echo across the plains..
