Along Came Jones - The Coasters

作词：Jerry Leiber/Mike Stoller

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

Along came long lean lanky Jones

Along came long lean lanky Jones
