Wikipedia Text
Along Came Jones is a 1945 western comedy film starring Gary Cooper, Loretta Young, William Demarest, and Dan Duryea, in which Cooper mercilessly spoofs his own slow-talking cowboy persona. The movie was adapted by Nunnally Johnson from the novel Useless Cowboy by Alan Le May, and directed by Stuart Heisler. The film probably inspired the popular 1960s Coasters song "Along Came Jones".
