Collection of Irish Song Lyrics
Ould Triangle (the)
Oh a hungry feelin' came over me stealin'
and the mice were squeeling in my prison cell
and the ould triange went jingle jangle
all along the banks of the Royal Canal
To begin the mornin the warden bawling
"get out of bed and clean up your cell"
and the ould triange went jingle jangle
all along the banks of the Royal Canal
On a fine spring evening the lag lay dreaming
the seagulls wheeling high above the wall
and the ould triange went jingle jangle
all along the banks of the Royal Canal
the screw was peeping and the lag was sleeping
while he lay weeping for his old gal Sal
and the ould triange went jingle jangle
all along the banks of the Royal Canal
The wind was rising and the day declining
as I lay pining in my prison cell
and the ould triange went jingle jangle
all along the banks of the Royal Canal
The day was dying and the wind was sighing
As I lay crying in my prison cell
and the ould triange went jingle jangle
all along the banks of the Royal Canal
In the female prison there was seventy women
I wish I was with them that I did well
and the ould triange went jingle jangle
all along the banks of the Royal Canal
