Along Came Jones
(Leiber / Stoller)

I plopped down in my easy chair and turned on Channel Two
A bad gun slinger called Salty Sam was a-chasin' poor Sweet Sue
He trapped her in the old sawmill, and he 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?)

* Ah, ah, and then along came Jones
Tall, thin Jones, slow walking Jones
Slow talking Jones, along came long, lean, lanky Jones,

Commercial came on, so I got up, to get myself a snack
You should have seen what was going on by the time I got back
Down in the old abandoned mine,
Sweet Sue was a-havin' fits
That villain said, "Gimme 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?)

* Repeat

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'm gonna throw you on the railroad track."

And then he grabbed her, (and then?)
He tied her up, (and then?)
A train started coming
(And then? and then?) eh, eh

* Repeat

Schöner Coasters Song.

Ok, wir sind ja hier bei den "Reviews" nicht bei den Texten.

Also wäre die Sache so:

"......You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes!
- ok, thank you - ahhh, and then, and then along came Jones....
It's about the same time I had those records out and I did a song.... blabla..." (Hound Dog Monolog folgt).
