The Auld Triangle

[Verse 1] 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 2] To begin the morning, A screw was bawling "Get up you bowsie, And clean up your cell" [Chorus] And the auld triangle went jingle, jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal [Verse 3] The lads were sleeping, Humpy Gussy was creeping As I lay there weeping for my girl, Sal [Chorus] And the auld triangle went jingle, jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal [Verse 4] Up in the female prison, there's 75 women And among them I wish I did dwell [Chorus] Then the auld triangle could go jingle, jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal All along the banks of the Royal Canal
