Song Lyrics:
Along came Jones
Ray Stevens

I plopped down in my easy chair and I 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 (Help, he grabbed me, help)
He tied her up (Help, he’s tying me up, help )
He turned on the Buzz saw (He’s turning on the buzz saw! Help! Help! ooh)

(chorus):
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 (Help, he grabbed me)
He tied her up (He’s tying me up again)
He lit the fuse to the dynamite (He’s lightin’ the fuse to the dynamite)

(chorus)
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 a tryin' to stuff Sweet Sue in a burlap sack
He said, "If you don't give me the deed to your ranch
I'll throw you on the railroad tracks!"
And then he grabbed her (Help! He’s grabbin’ me again!)
He tied her up (Here we go, tying me up! Same routine)
He threw her on the railroad tracks (He’s throwing me on the railroad tracks!)
A train started comin' (AAAAH, here come the train! Here come the train!)

(chorus)
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

As is posted above, the most recent album with the song is 'Ray Stevens-The Collection'. Or you could request it for the show. For nasty legal reasons, you can only hear songs live here if they've been played on the podcasts.
