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...

And then along came Jones
Tall, thin Jones
Slow-walkin' Jones
-- Slow-talkin' Jones --
Along came long-legged, 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 a-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...

And then along came Jones
Tall, thin Jones
Slow-walkin' Jones
-- Slow-talkin' Jones --
Along came long-legged, lanky Jones

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...

And then along came Jones
Tall, thin Jones
Slow-walkin' Jones
-- Slow-talkin' Jones --
Along came long-legged, lanky Jones
