There was a lad in Glasgow town,
Ramensky was his name...
Johnny didn't know it then,
but he was set for fame!

He did a wee bit job or two,
he blew them open wide!
But they caught him and they tried him
and they bunged him right inside.

Alley-ee alley-ay alley-oo alley-oh!
Open up your prison gates
and let Ramensky go!

But when the war was raging,
the brass-hats had a plan
Tae purloin some information,
but they couldnae find a man.

They nobbled John in prison,
asked if he would take a chance,
they dropped him in a parachute,
beyond the coast of France!

Alley-ee alley-ay alley-oo alley-oh!
Open up your prison gates
and let Ramensky go!

And when the war was over,
they shook him by the hand
For stealing secret documents
frae the German High Command!

Aye, Johnny was rewarded
for the job he did sae well,
They granted him a pardon
frae the prison and the cell.

Alley-ee alley-ay alley-oo alley-oh!
Open up your prison gates
and let Ramensky go!

But Johnny was in error when he tried his hand once more
For they caught him at a blastin', and it wasnae worth the score
The jury pled for mercy, but the judge's voice was heard
Ten years without remission, and that's my final word

Alley-ee alley-ay alley-oo alley-oh!
Open up your prison gates
and let Ramensky go!

Now Peterhead's a fortress,
its walls are thick and stout
But it couldnae hold wee Johnny,
when he felt like walking out

Five times he took a powder,
he left them in a fix
And every day they sweat and pray
in case he makes it six!

Alley-ee alley-ay alley-oo alley-oh!
Open up your prison gates
and let Ramensky go!
