[Verse 1]
A hungry feeling
Came o'er me stealing
And the mice were squealing
In my prison cell
And the auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

[Verse 2]
To begin the morning
The warden was bawling
"Get up 'outta bed boy!
And clean up your cell!"
And the auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

[Verse 3]
Well the screw was peeping
And the loike lay sleeping
As I was weeping
For my girl Sal
And the auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along thе banks of the Royal Canal

[Verse 4]
In the femalе 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
[Verse 5]
On a fine Spring evening
The loike lay dreaming
And the sea-gulls were wheeling
High above the wall
And the auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
