The Old Triangle

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Oh, a hungry feeling, came o'er me stealing And the mice were squealing in me prison cell Then the auld triangle, went jingle jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal [Verse 2] To begin the morning, the screw was bawlin' Get up you bowsie, and clean up your cell Then the auld triangle, went jingle jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal [Verse 3] Ah, the screw was peepin', And the lag lay sleepin' Dreaming about his girl Sal Then that auld triangle, went jingle jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal [Verse 4] In the female prison, there are seventy five women And among them I wish I did dwell Then that auld triangle, could go jingle jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal
