The Auld Triangle Songtext
von Bob Dylan & The Band

A hungry feelin′ came o'er me stealin′
As the mice were squeelin' in my prison cell
And that auld triangle, oh, it jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

To begin the morning with the water boilin'
Get out of bed, clean up your cell
And that auld triangle goes jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal


On a fine spring evenin′ the lake lay dreamin′
The seagulls beamin' high above the wall
And that auld triangle goes jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

The screw was peepin′ and the lake lay sleepin'
As he lays there weepin′ for his good girl Sal
And that auld triangle play jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

In the female prison, there are 70 women
And it took all of them where I'd like to dwell
And that auld triangle would go jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal


Oh, the day was dyin′ and the lake was sighin'
As I lay cryin' in my prison cell
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
