Along Came Jones Lyrics - Face The Music: The Complete Monument Singles 1965-1970 - Ray Stevens

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, 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' 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, 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
