Ricky Warwick
Johnny Ringo’s Last Ride
[Verse 1]
Johnny cracked a thousand skulls
In the entries near the yard
And wrestled Sammy Pavlov's dogs
With knuckles tungsten hard
There's a barstool no one sits on
A list of ten demands
The night the manic welder
Broke both his foreman's hands

[Chorus]
Every summer Sunday
In the square beneath the clock
Johnny Ringo swallowed chains
Hauled out of Pollock Dock
And you can hear the ladies cry
For Johnny's final ride
His final ride

[Verse 2]
Mackesons and Mundies
And Morton's Red Heart Stout
And ten glass Johnny Walker
Brought all the demons out
And fable pulled the women
Charisma pull out chairs
But Ringo pulled his boots back on
And staggered down the stairs

[Chorus]
Every summer Sunday
In the square beneath the clock
Johnny Ringo swallowed chains
Hauled out of Pollock Dock
And you can hear the ladies cry
For Johnny's final ride
His final ride
Every summer Sunday
In the square beneath the clock
Johnny Ringo swallowed chains
Hauled out of Pollock Dock
And you can hear the ladies cry
For Johnny's final ride
His final ride

[Verse 3]
On Sailortown's damp cobbles
His abdication came
‘Cause clowns lose all their makeup
When they step into the rain
But there are ghosts in every cupboard
Secrets seldom found
‘Cause Johnny painted mountain streams
When no one was around
Every summer Sunday
In the square beneath the clock
Johnny Ringo swallowed chains
Hauled out of Pollock Dock

[Chorus]
Every summer Sunday
In the square beneath the clock
Johnny Ringo swallowed chains
Hauled out of Pollock Dock
And you can hear the ladies cry
For Johnny's final ride
His final ride
Final ride
His final ride
