Auld Triangle - Young Dubliners

A hungry feeling

Came o’er me stealing

And the mice were squealing

In my prison cell

And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

To begin the morning

The screw was bawling

«Get up ya bowsy And clean out your cell!»

And that auld triangle went jingle jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

Now the screw was peeping

As the lag lay sleeping

Dreaming about his girl Sal

And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

Up in the female prison

There are seventy five women

And among them now I wish I did dwell

Then that auld triangle could go jingle jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal
