Along Came Jones lyrics

I plopped down in my easy chair and turned on Channel 2
A bad gunslinger called Salty Sam was chasin` poor Sweet Sue
He trapped her in the old sawmill and said with an evil laugh,
`If you don`t give me the deed to your ranch
I`ll saw you all in half!`
And then he grabbed her (and then)
He tied her up (and then)
He turned on the bandsaw (and then, and then...!)

(chorus):
And then along came Jones
Tall thin Jones
Slow-walkin` Jones
Slow-talkin` Jones
Along came long, lean, lanky Jones

Commercial came on, so I got up to get myself a snack
You should`ve seen what was goin` on by the time that I got back
Down in the old abandoned mine, Sweet Sue was havin` fits
That villain said, `Give me the deed to your ranch
Or I`ll blow you all to bits!`
And then he grabbed her (and then)
He tied her up (and then)
He lit the fuse to the dynamite (and then, and then...!)

(chorus)

I got so bugged I turned it off and turned on another show
But there was the same old shoot-`em-up and the same old rodeo
Salty Sam was tryin` to stuff Sweet Sue in a burlap sack
He said, `If you don`t give me the deed to your ranch
I`m gonna throw you on the railroad tracks!`
And then he grabbed her (and then)
He tied her up (and then)
He threw her on the railroad tracks (and then)
A train started comin` (and then, and then...!)

(chorus)
