A hungry feeling came o'ver me stealing

And 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

the screw was peeping, Humpy Gussy was sleeping

As i lay there dreaming of my gl, Sal

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

Then the auld triangle could go jingle jangle

All along the banks of the royal canal
All along the banks of the royal canal
