Old Triangle Songtext
von Paddy Reilly

A hungry feeling
Came o′er me stealin'
All the mice they were squeeling
All in my cell
And the Old Triangle
Went Jingle Jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal


Early in the mornin′
The screws were bawling
Get up you balsy
And clean up your cell
And the Old Triangle
Went Jingle Jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

All the lang was sleeping
Hussy Gussy was peeping
As I lay there dreaming
Of my girl Sal
And the Old Triangle
Went Jingle Jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal


In the female prison
There are 75 women
and I wished among them
That I did dwell
And that old triangle
could go jingle jangle
all along the banks of the Royal Canal.
