Biografía:
Billy Guy, miembro de los Coasters y uno de los mejores barítonos del doo wop y del rhythm and blues de finales de los años 50, nació en Texas el 20 de junio de 1936.
The Coasters comenzó su trayectoria con la publicación del single "Down in Mexico" que en 1956 alcanzó el Top Ten de las listas de éxitos de R&B de Estados Unidos. Este tema fue incluido en la banda sonora de la película Death Proof de Quentin Taratino que es, por cierto, un gran fan de los Coasters.

Along Came Jones:The Coasters.
#9 in UK and #14 in USA in 1959.
#1.
A
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 y'all in half!'
SPOKEN:(Ad lib.)
Bdim
And then he grabbed her..(and then?)
Ddim
He tied her up..(and then?)
Fdim
He turned on the buzz-saw (and then, and then...?!)
CHORUS:
A
And then along came Jones.
E
Tall thin Jones.
A D
Slow-walkin' Jones..slow-talkin' Jones.
E A
Along came long, lean, lanky, Jones.
#2.
A
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.)
Bdim
And then he grabbed her..(and then?)
Ddim
He tied her up..(and then?)
Fdim
He lit the fuse to the dynamite..(and then, and then...?!)
CHORUS:
A
And then along came Jones.
E
Tall thin Jones.
A D
Slow-walkin' Jones..slow-talkin' Jones.
E A
Along came long, lean, lanky, Jones.

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.)
Bdim
And then he grabbed her..(and then?)
Ddim
He tied her up..(and then?)
Fdim
He threw her on the railroad tracks..(and then?)
Abdim
A train started comin'..(and then, and then...???!)
CHORUS:
A
And then along came Jones.
E
Tall thin Jones.
A D
Slow-walkin' Jones..slow-talkin' Jones.
E A
Along came long, lean, lanky, Jones.
OUTRO:
E A
Along came long, lean, lanky, Jones.(x2)(Fade.)
