The Auld Triangle

A hungry feeling came o'er me stealing
 And the mice were squealing in my prison cell
 And the old triangle went jingle jangle
 All along the banks of the Royal Canal
 To begin the morning a screw was bawling
 'Get up you bowsie 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 the lag lay dreaming
 The seagulls wheeling high over the wall
 And the old 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 old triangle went jingle jangle
 All along the banks of the Royal Canal
 The wind was rising and the day declining
 As I lay pining in my prison cell
 And the old triangle went jingle jangle
 All along the banks of the Royal Canal
 In the female prison there are seventy five women
 'Tis among them I wish I did dwell
 And the old triangle went jingle jangle
 All along the banks of the Royal Canal
 The day was dying and the wind was sighing
 As I lay crying in my prison cell
 And the old triangle went jingle jangle
 All along the banks of the Royal Canal
