Am
There was a lad in Glesga town, Ramensky Gwas his Amname
FJohnny didnae Cknow it then but Ghe was set for Amfame
He did a wee bit job or two, he Gblew them open Amwide
But Fthey caught him and they Ctried him and they Fbunged him Gright inside
FAlley-ee alley-ay alley-Coo alley-Emoh
FOpen up your prison Cgates
And Flet Ramensky Amgo
And when they let him out he said he'd do his Gbest but Amthen
He Fyielded tae tempCtation and they Ambunged him Gin again
AmNow Johnny made the headlines, entertained the Gboys Ambelow
When he Fclimbed up tae the Cprison roof and Fgave a Gone-man Amshow
Alley-Fee alley-ay alley-Coo alley-Emoh
FOpen up your prison Cgates
And Flet Ramensky Amgo
But when the war was raging the brass-hats Ghad a Amplan
Tae purloin Fsome inforCmation, but they Amcouldnae find a man
So they nobbled John in prison, asked if he would take a chance
Then they Fdropped him in a Cparachute Fbeyond the Gcoast of AmFrance
Alley-Fee alley-ay alley-Coo alley-Emoh
FOpen up your prison Cgates
And Flet Ramensky Amgo
Then Johnny was a hero, they shook him Gby the Amhand
For Fstealing secret documents frae the German CHigh AmCommand
So Johnny was rewarded for the job he did sae well
They Fgranted him a Cpardon frae the Fprison Gand the Amcell
Alley-Fee alley-ay alleyC-oo alleyEm-oh
FOpen up your prison Cgates
And Flet Ramensky Amgo
But Johnny was in error when he tried his Ghand once Ammore
For they Fcaught him at a Cblastin', and it Amwasnae Gworth the Amscore
The jury pled for mercy, but the judge's Gvoice was Amheard
Ten Fyears without reCmission, and Gthat's my final Amword
Ten years, my lord, that's far too long, wee GJohnny cried in Amvain
For Fif you send me Cup for ten I'll Gnever come out Amagain
Oh give me another chance, my lord, I'm Gtellin' you no Amlie
But Fif you send me up for ten GI'll sicken and I'll Amdie
Alley-Fee alley-ay alleyC-oo alleyEm-oh
FOpen up your prison Cgates
And Flet Ramensky Amgo
Now Peterhead's a fortress, its walls are Gthick and Amstout
But it Fcouldnae hold wee Johnny when he Cfelt like Gwalking Amout
Five times he took a powder, he left them Gin a Amfix
And Fevery day they Csweat and pray in Fcase he Gmakes it Amsix
Alley-Fee alley-ay alleyC-oo alleyEm-oh
FOpen up your prison Cgates
And Flet Ramensky Amgo
