W:A hungry feeling came o'er me stealing
W:And the mice were squealing in my prison cell
W:And the old triangle went jingle jangle
W:All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
W:
W:To begin the morning the screw was bawling
W:"Get up you bowsie, and clean up your cell"
W:And the old triangle went jingle jangle
W:All along the banks of the Royal Canal
W:
W:The lags were sleeping, humpy Gussy was peeping
W:As I lay there weeping for my girl Sal
W:And the old triangle went jingle jangle
W:All along the banks of the Royal Canal
W:
W:Up in the female prison there are seventy-five women
W:And among them I wish I did dwell
W:Then the old triangle could go jingle jangle
W:All along the banks of the Royal Canal
