The Auld Triangle

  G                   Bm
A hungry feeling Came o'er me 
stealing
        C                         
And the mice were squealing In my 
Am
prison cell
     G                   Bm
To begin the morning The warden 
bawling
     C                       Am
"Get up out of bed, boy! And Clean 
up your cell!"

        G                  
And that auld triangle went 
 Bm
jingle-jangle
     C                     Bm  
All along the banks of the Royal 
    G
Canal
(finish bar with G which leads into 
next verse)

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 that 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 that auld triangle went 
jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal 
Canal

In the female prison
There are seventy women
And I wish to god it was with them
That I did dwell

And the auld triangle went 
jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal 
Canal
And the auld triangle went 
jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal 
Canal
