A hungry feeling, came o'er me stealing And the mice were squealing in my prison cell And the auld triangle, went jingle jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal
To begin the morning, a screw was bawling Get up you bousy, and clean up your cell And the auld triangle, went jingle jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal
The lags were sleeping humpy gussy was creeping As I lay there weeping for my girl Sal And the auld triangle, went jingle jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal
Up in the female prison there seventy five women And among them I wish 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
