The Auld Triangle

A hungry feelin' came o'er me stealin'

As the mice were squeelin' in my prison cell

And that auld triangle, oh it jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

To begin the morning with the water boilin'

"Get out of bed, clean up your cell."

And that auld triangle goes jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

On a fine spring evenin' the lake lay dreamin'

The sea-gulls beamin' high above the wall

And that auld triangle goes jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

The screw was peepin' and the lake lay sleepin'

As he lays there weepin' for his good gal Sal

And that auld triangle play jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

In the female prison there are seventy women

And it took all of them where I'd like to dwell

And that auld triangle would go jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

Oh the day was dyin' and the lake was sighin'

As I lay cryin' in my prison cell

And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal
