Along Came Jones Lyrics

Well, I plopped down in my easy chair

And turned on Channel Two

A bad gun slinger called Salty Sam

Was a chasin' poor Sweet Sue.

He trapped her in the old sawmill

And he 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 buzz saw

(And then, and then.)

Ah, oh, and then along came Jones

Tall thin Jones

Slow walking Jones, slow talking Jones

Along came long, lean, lanky Jones.

Well, commercial came on so I got up

To get myself a snack

You should have seen what was going on

By the time I got back.

Down in the old abandoned mine

Sweet Sue was a havin' fits

That villain said gimme 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.)

Ah, oh, and then along came Jones

Tall thin Jones

Slow walking Jones, slow talking Jones

Along came long, lean, lanky Jones.

Well, 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. ya

Salty Sam was a 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 track.

And then he grabbed her (and then)

He tied her up (and then)

A train started coming

(And then, and then) eh eh

Ah, oh, and then along came Jones

Tall thin Jones

Slow walking Jones, slow talking Jones

Along came long, lean, lanky Jones.

Along came long, lean, lanky Jones...
