[Verse]
A hungry feeling
Came o er me stealing
And the mice were squealing in my prison cell
[Chorus]
And the auld triangle
Went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
[Verse]
To begin the morning
A screw was bawling
Get up ya bousey and clean out your cell
[Chorus]
And the auld triangle
Went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
[Verse]
On a fine spring evening
The lag lay dreaming
The seagulls wheeling high above the wall
[Chorus]
And the auld triangle
Went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
[Verse]
The lag lay sleeping
Oh the loike was creeping
And I lay there weeping for my good girl Sal
[Chorus]
And the auld triangle
Went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
[Verse]
The wind was rising
And the day declining
As I lay pining in my prison cell
[Chorus]
And the auld triangle
Went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
[Verse]
Up in the female prison
There are seventy-five women
And it is among them that I wish I did dwell
[Chorus]
And the auld triangle
Went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
