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

A 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 lags were sleeping

Humpy Gussy was creeping

As I lay there weeping

For my gal 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

'Tis among them I wish I did dwell

Then the old triangle could go jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

All along the banks of the Royal Canal
