ALONG CAME JONES
The Coasters


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
