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 start 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      Oh! the screw was peeping   And the loike was sleeping   As he lay weeping   For his girl sal   And that 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 were wheeling   High above the wall   And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle   All along the banks of the royal canal      Oh! the wind was sighing   And the day was dying   As the loike lay crying   In his prison cell   And that auld triangle went jingle-bloody-jangle   All along the banks of the royal canal      In the women's prison   There are seventy women   And I wish it was with them   That I did dwell   Then that auld triangle could go jingle-jangle   All along the banks of the royal canal
