The Auld Triangle

A hungry feeling

Came o'er me stealing

All the mice were squealing

In my prison cell

And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

To begin the morning

The screw was bawling

"Get up ya bowsie and clean up your cell!"

And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

The lags were sleeping

Humpy Gussy was peeping

As I lay there weeping for my girl Sal

And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

In the female prison

There are 75 women

And among them, I wish I did dwell

Then the auld triangle could go jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

All along the banks of the Royal Canal
