Dubliners - The Auld Triangle lyrics

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
