Royal Canal

Lyrics

A hungry feeling came o'er me stealing And the mice were squealing in my prison cell And that old triangle Went jingle jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal To begin the morning, the warder bawling "Get out of bed and clean up your cell" And the old triangle Went jingle jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal On a fine spring evening, a lag lay dreaming The seagulls wheeling high above the wall While the old triangle A-wеnt jingle jangle All along the banks of thе Royal Canal Oh the day was dying and the wind was sighing As I lay there crying in my prison cell And the old triangle A-went jingle jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal Now in the female prison there are seventy women I wish it was with them that I did dwell Then the old triangle Could go jingle jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal
