"Along Came Jones" is a comedic song written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller and originally recorded by The Coasters,〔 but covered by many other groups and individuals. ==The song== Told from the perspective of a person watching television, the song tells of the interaction between a gunslinger stock villain, "Salty Sam," and a ranch owner, "Sweet Sue," on an unnamed television show. The TV show features various damsel in distress scenarios, whereby Sam abducts Sue and places her in peril, intended to force her to give him the deed to her ranch – or face a gruesome death: *In the first verse, the narrator watches Sam attempt to kill Sue by cutting her in half in an abandoned sawmill. *In the second verse, the narrator fixes a snack during a commercial break, and comes back to see Sam attempting to detonate Sue in an abandoned mine. *In the third verse, apparently tired of the show, the narrator changes channels – only to find another episode of the same show, this time with Sam attempting to stuff Sue in a burlap sack and throw her in front of an oncoming train. However, Sue is rescued, and Sam's plans foiled, by the hero – a "tall, thin, slow-walkin', slow-talkin', long, lean, lanky" fellow named Jones. (How Jones defeats Sam and rescues Sue is never told.) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Along Came Jones (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
