[Verse]
A hungry feeling, came o'er me stealing,
And the mice they were squealing in my prison cell.

[Chorus]
And the auld triangle goes jingle jangle,
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.

[Verse]
In the early morning, the screw were calling,
"Get up ya bowsie and clean out your cell!"

[Chorus]
And the auld triangle goes jingle jangle,
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.

[Verse]
Was in the evening, the lags lie sleeping,
And he was dreaming of his girl Sal.

[Chorus]
And the auld triangle goes jingle jangle,
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.

[Verse]
In the female prison, there were seventy five women,
Was there that I swear that I'd rather be.

[Chorus]
And the auld triangle goes jingle jangle,
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.

[Verse]
A hungry feeling, came o'er me stealing,
And the mice they were squealing in my prison cell.

[Chorus]
And the auld triangle goes jingle jangle,
All along the banks of the Royal Canal,
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
