The Old Triangle Songtext
von Luke Kelly

A hungry feeling
Came o′er me stealing
And the mice 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
A screw was bawling
"Get up you bowsie
And clean up your cell"
And the auld triangle
Went jingle jangle
All along the banks
Of the Royal Canal
The lads were sleeping Humpy Gussy was creeping
As I lay there weeping
For my girl Sal
And the auld triangle
Went jingle jangle
All along the banks
Of the Royal Canal
Up in the female prison
There are seventy-five women
'Tis among them I wish I did dwell
Then the auld triangle
Could go jingle jangle
All along the banks
Of the Royal Canal
All along the banks
Of the Royal Canal
