Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A hungry feeling came o'er me stealing
And the mice were squealing in my prison cell
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
[Verse 2]
Oh to start the morning, the warden bawling
"Get up out of bed, you! And clean out your cell!"
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
[Verse 3]
Oh the screw was peeping and the lag was sleeping
As he lay weeping for his girl Sal
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
[Verse 4]
On a fine spring evening, the lag lay dreaming
And the seagulls were wheeling high above the wall
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
[Verse 5]
Oh the wind was sighing, and the day was dying
As the lag lay crying in his prison cell
And that auld triangle went jingle-bloody-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
[Verse 6]
In the women's prison, there are seventy women
And I wish it was with them that I did dwell
Then that auld triangle could go jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
