Alone Came Jones - The Coasters
Written By:Finnegan
I plopped down in my easy chair and turned on Channel Two
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 a-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
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
