| Ballad Of Johnny Ramensky Far distant, far distant, in Peterhead Jail Lies Johnny Ramensky, his escape bid is failed Iron bars and red granite keep him from the sun And Johnny Ramensky, no freedom has won. He's been in a prison for most of his days And 'I must hae' my freedom' is all that he says For there are no horizons in a twenty-foot cell And bitter is the music of a cold prison bell. He's slipped from the darkness and into the light To the green fields around him he's taken a flight Forgotten his prison, to his window no bars For Johnny Ramensky walked under the stars. Like a dog he was hunted, like a dog he was ta'en Ah but sweet was the smell of the wind and the rain One breath of fresh air, one glance at the sun But Johnny Ramensky no freedom has won. Repeat first verse.^^ |
