The Auld Triangle Songtext
von The Longest Johns

A hungry feeling, it came o′er me stealing
And the mice they were squealing in my prison cell

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

To begin the morning, the warden was bawling
"Get up out'a bed, boy, and clean up your cell!"

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

Well the screw was peeping and the lag lay sleeping
As I was weepin′ for my gal, Sal


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

In the female prison there are seventeen 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

On a fine spring evenin', the lag lay dreaming
And the seagulls are wheelin' 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
