The Auld Lang Triangle Songtext
von The Pogues

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 70 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
