Along Came Jones Lyrics

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)
