The Auld Triangle

A hungry feeling

Came o'er me stealing

And the mice were squeeling

In my prison cell

And the auld triangle went jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

To begin the morning

A screw bawling

"Get up, you bowsie

And clean up your cell"

And the auld triangle went jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

The lags were sleeping

Humpy Gussy was creeping

As I lay there weeping

For my gal Sal

And the auld triangle went jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

Up in the female prison

There are 75 women

'Tis 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
