The Auld Triangle

Lyrics

A hungry feeling Came o'er me stealing All 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, ya bowsie 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 gal Sal And the auld triangle went jingle-jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal Up in the female prison There are seventy-five women 'Tis among them I wish I did dwell Then the old triangle could go jingle-jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal All along the banks of the Royal Canal
