Along Came Jones Lyrics By The Coasters

i flopped down in my easy chair and turned on channel
a bad gunslinger called salty sam was achasin’ 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 buzz saw and then and then

ackack
and then along came jones
tall thin jones
slowwalkin’ jones
slowtalkin’ jones
along came lonely lanky jones

commercial came on so i got up to get myself a snack
you should’ve seen what was going on by the time that i got back
down in the old abandoned mine sweet sue was ahavin’ 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

ackack
and then along came jones
tall thin jones
slowwalkin’ jones
slowtalkin’ jones
along came lonely lanky jones

i got so bugged i turned it off and turned on another show
but there was the same old shoot’emup and the same old rodeo
salty sam was atryin’ 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 track

and then he grabbed her and then
he tied her up and then
he threw her on the railroad track and then
a train started coming and then and then

ackack
and then along came jones
tall thin jones
slowwalkin’ jones
slowtalkin’ jones
along came lonely lanky jones
along came lonely lanky jones
