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

I'll saw you all in half!"
And then he grabbed her
He tied her up (and then)

He turned on the bandsaw

And turned on another show
But there was the same

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
railroad tracks!"
