Old Triangle, The
Auld Triangle, The
Sheet Music (and more information about this song)
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 the 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
The lags were sleeping, humpy Gussy was peeping
As I lay there weeping for my girl Sal
And the old 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 I wish I did dwell
Then the old triangle could go jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
