14 in USA in 1959.

#1.
A augmentedA
I plopped down in my easy chair and turned on Channel 2.

A augmentedA 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 y'all in half!'

SPOKEN:(Ad lib.)
A augmentedA
And then he grabbed her..(and then?)

He tied her up..(and then?)

He turned on the buzz-saw (and then, and then...?!)

CHORUS:
A augmentedA
And then along came Jones.
E MajorE
Tall thin Jones.
D MajorD
Slow-walkin' Jones..slow-talkin' Jones.
A augmentedA
Along came long, lean, lanky, Jones.

#2.
A augmentedA
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!'

SPOKEN:(Ad lib.)
A augmentedA
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:

And then along came Jones.

#3.

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!'

SPOKEN: (Ad lib.)
A augmentedA
And then he grabbed her..(and then?)
He tied her up..(and then?)
He threw her on the railroad tracks..(and then?)
A augmentedA train started comin'..(and then, and then...???!)

And then along came Jones.

Slow-walkin' Jones..slow-talkin' Jones.
