Along Came Jones lyrics

I plopped down in my easy chair

And turned on Channel 2

A bad gunslinger called Salty Sam

Was a-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 buzzsaw

(And then? And then? ack ack)

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 shoulda 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? ack ack)

And then along came Jones

Tall, thin Jones

Slow-walkin' Jones

Slow-talkin' Jones

Along came long, lean, 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 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 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? ack ack)

And then along came Jones

Tall, thin Jones

Slow-walkin' Jones

Slow-talkin' Jones

Along came long, lean, lanky Jones

Along came long, lean, lanky Jones...
