The Auld Triangle Songtext
von The Dubliners

A hungry feeling
Came o′er me stealing
And the mice were squeeling
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 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 lags were sleeping
Humpy Gussy was creeping
As I lay there weeping
For my gal Sal

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

Up in the female prison
There are 75 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
