The Auld Triangle Lyrics - The Dubliners Essential Collection - Dubliners

A hungry feeling 

Came o'er me stealing 

All the mice were squealing 

In my prison cell 

And the auld triangle went jingle-jangle 

All along the banks of the Royal Canal 

To begin the morning 

The screw was bawling 

"Get up ya bowsie! 

And Clean up your cell!" 

And the auld triangle went jingle-jangle 

All along the banks of the Royal Canal 

On a fine Spring evening 

The loike lay dreaming 

And the sea-gulls squeeling 

High above the wall 

Oh! the day was dying 

And the wind was sighing 

As I lay there crying 

In my prison cell 

And the auld triangle went jingle-jangle 

All along the banks of the Royal Canal 

Oh! the screw was peeping 

And the loike was sleeping 

As he lay there weeping 

For his poor gal 

And the 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, 

I wish I did dwell 

And the auld triangle went jingle-jangle 

All along the banks of the Royal Canal 

All along the banks of the Royal Canal
