A hungry feeling

Came o'er me stealing

In my prison cell
G Bm
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

Oh! To start the morning

The warden bawling
C G A C
"Get up out of bed, you! And Clean out your cell!"

And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle

Oh! the screw was peeping

And the loike was sleeping

As he lay weeping

For his girl Sal

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

On a fine Spring evening

The loike lay dreaming

High above the wall

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

As the loike lay crying

In his prison cell

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

In the women's prison

There are seventy women

And I wish it was with them

That I did dwell

And that auld triangle CAN GO jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal
