Am G Am There was a lad in Glesga town, Ramensky was his name F C Am G Am Wee Johnny didnae know it then but he was set for fame Am G Am He did a wee bit job or two, he blew them open wide F C Am G Am But they caught him and they tried him and they bunged him right inside Am C Em Alley-ee alley-ay alley-oo alley-oh F C Open up your prison gates Am G Am And let Ramensky go Am G Am And when they let him out he said he'd do his best but then F C Am G Am He yielded tae temptation and they bunged him in again Am G Am Now Johnny made the headlines, entertained the boys below F C Am G Am When he climbed up tae the prison roof and gave a one-man show Am C Em Alley-ee alley-ay alley-oo alley-oh F C Open up your prison gates Am G Am And let Ramensky go Am G Am But when the war was raging the brass-hats had a plan F C Am G Am Tae find some information, but they couldnae find a man G Am So they nobbled John in prison, asked if he would take a chance F C Am G Am They dropped him in a parachute beyond the coast of France Am C Em Alley-ee alley-ay alley-oo alley-oh F C Open up your prison gates Am G Am And let Ramensky go Am G Am Then Johnny was a hero, they shook him by the hand F C Am G Am For stealing secret documents frae the German High Command G Am So Johnny was rewarded for the job he did sae well F C Am G Am They granted him a pardon frae the prison and the cell Am C Em Alley-ee alley-ay alley-oo alley-oh F C Open up your prison gates Am G Am And let Ramensky go Am G Am But Johnny was in error when he tried his hand once more F C Am G Am For they caught him at a blastin', and it wasnae worth the score G Am The jury pled for mercy, but the judge's voice was heard F C Am G Am Ten years without remission, and that's my final word Am C Em Alley-ee alley-ay alley-oo alley-oh F C Open up your prison gates Am G Am And let Ramensky go Am G Am Ten years, my lord, that's far too long, wee Johnny cried in vain F C Am G Am For if you send me up for ten I'll never come out again G Am Oh give me another chance, my lord, I'm tellin' you no lie F C Am G Am But if you send me up for ten I'll sicken and I'll die Am C Em Alley-ee alley-ay alley-oo alley-oh F C Open up your prison gates Am G Am And let Ramensky go Am G Am Now Peterhead's a fortress, its walls are thick and stout F C Am G Am But it couldnae hold wee Johnny when he felt like walking out G Am Five times he took a powder, he left them in a fix F C Am G Am And every day they sweat and pray in case he makes it six Am C Em Alley-ee alley-ay alley-oo alley-oh F C Open up your prison gates Am G Am And let Ramensky go
