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...!)
|
|
[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 (and then)
|
He tied her up (and then)
|
He lit the fuse to the dynamite (and then, and then...!)
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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...!)
|
|
[Chorus]
|
