The Auld Triangle

A hungry feelin' came o'er me stealin'

And the mice were squealin' in my prison cell

To begin the mornin', the water boilin'

Get up out of bed, boy, and clean up your cell

And the auld triangle, went jingle jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

On a fine spring evenin', the lag lay dreamin', and the

Seagulls squealin' high above the wall

Oh, and the day was dyin' and the wind was sighin'

As I lay there cryin' in my prison cell

And the auld triangle, went jingle jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

Oh the screw was peepin' and the lag was sleepin' as he

Lay there weepin' for his poor gal

And the auld triangle, went jingle jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

In the female prison there are seventy women

And I wish to God it was with them that I did dwell

And the auld triangle, went jingle jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

And the auld triangle, went jingle jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal
