Subject: RE: Lyr Add: The Big Mansion Hoose Ca'd Barlinnie
We sang this at the Girl Guides......educational??

The gates of Barlinnie Hotel
There is a wee man wae a bell
He pulls down the string
And it goes ding-a-ling
The gates of Barlinnie Hotel.

You don't need a spade
Your porridge is made
You just have to rattle your tinnie haw haw
Withoot any doot
You will never get oot
Of the big mansion hoose ca'd Barlinnie Hotel.

And there are the polis that stand by the door
With bonnets and bayonets and awe the things wore
And there are the prisoners all down in their cells
All gambling and drinking all by themselves.
