Coasters - Along Came Jones lyrics

rate me

I plopped down in my easy chair and turned on Channel 2<br />

A bad gunslinger called Salty Sam was chasin' poor Sweet Sue<br />

He trapped her in the old sawmill and said with an evil laugh,<br />

"If you don't give me the deed to your ranch<br />

I'll saw you all in half!"<br />

And then he grabbed her (and then)<br />

He tied her up (and then)<br />

He turned on the bandsaw (and then, and then...!)<br />

<br />

(chorus):<br />

And then along came Jones<br />

Tall thin Jones<br />

Slow-walkin' Jones<br />

Slow-talkin' Jones<br />

Along came long, lean, lanky Jones<br />

<br />

Commercial came on, so I got up to get myself a snack<br />

You should've seen what was goin' on by the time that I got back<br />

Down in the old abandoned mine, Sweet Sue was havin' fits<br />

That villain said, "Give me the deed to your ranch<br />

Or I'll blow you all to bits!"<br />

And then he grabbed her (and then)<br />

He tied her up (and then)<br />

He lit the fuse to the dynamite (and then, and then...!)<br />

<br />

(chorus)<br />

<br />

I got so bugged I turned it off and turned on another show<br />

But there was the same old shoot-'em-up and the same old rodeo<br />

Salty Sam was tryin' to stuff Sweet Sue in a burlap sack<br />

He said, "If you don't give me the deed to your ranch<br />

I'm gonna throw you on the railroad tracks!"<br />

And then he grabbed her (and then)<br />

He tied her up (and then)<br />

He threw her on the railroad tracks (and then)<br />

A train started comin' (and then, and then...!)<br />

<br />

(chorus)
