A hungry feelin' Came o'er me stealing And the mice were squeelin' In my prison cell And the auld triangle went jingle-jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal To begin the mornin' The screw was bawlin' "Get up, ya bowsie, and clean up your cell" And the auld triangle went jingle-jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal The screw was peepin' Humpy Gussy was sleepin' As I lay there dreamin' of my girl, Sal And the auld (the auld) triangle (triangle) went jingle- (went jingle-) jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal Up in the female prison There are seventy-five women And 'tis among them, I wish I did dwell Then the auld triangle could go jingle-jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
