lyrics

Oh a hungry feeling came o'er me stealing
And the mice were squealing in me prison cell
And the auld triangle went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

Oh to start the morning, the warden bawlin'
Get up ya blowsies and clean out your cells
And the auld triangle went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

Oh the screw was peepin' and the lahg was sleeping
As he lay weepin' for his girl Sal
And the auld triangle went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

On a fine spring evening, the lahg lay dreamin'
And the seagulls wheelin' high above the wall
And the auld triangle went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

Oh the wind was sighin' and the day was dyin'
As the lahg lay cryin' for his girl Sal
And the auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

In the female prison there's seventy-five women
And it is among them that I wish that I did dwell
And the auld triangle went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
