This title is a cover of Along Came Jones as made famous by Ray Stevens

I dropped down in my easy chair and I turned on channel two
A bad gunslinger name of Salty
Sam was chasin' po' sweet Sue
He trapped her in the ol' saw mill and said with an evil laugh
If you don't give me the deed to yo ranch I'll saw you all in half
And then he grabbed her he tied her up he turned on the buzz saw
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
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 fix myself a snack
You should have seen what was going on by the time that I got back
Down in the ol' abandoned mine sweet Sue was a havin' fits
That villain said gimme the deed to yo'
Ranch or I'll blow you all to bits
And then he grabbed her he tied her up he lit the fuse to the dynamite
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha 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 ol' shoot 'em up
And the same ol' rodeo
Salty Sam was a tryin' to stuff sweet Sue in a burlap sack
He said if you don't gimme the deed to
Yo' ranch I'll tho' you on the railroad tracks
And then he grabbed her he tied her up
He threw her on the railroad tracks
A train started comin' ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha
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
