Ray Stevens - Along Came Jones lyrics

[Ray Stevens - 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 buzzsaw (and then, and then)

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' fit's
That villain said
"Give me the deed to your ranch
Or I'll blow you all to bit's!"
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, 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 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, lean, lanky Jones
