A hungry feeling
Came o'er me stealing
And the mice were squeeling
In my prison cell
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the royal canal
Oh! to begin the morning
The warden bawling
"get up out of bed, you! and clean out your cell!"
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the royal canal
And the loike was sleeping
Oh! the screw was peeping
As he lay weeping
For his girl sal
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the royal canal
In the women's prison
There are seventy women
And I wish
That I did dwell
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the royal canal
All along the banks of the royal canal
