The Old Triangle

A hungry feeling, came o'er me stealing
4  -4   5  -4 –4  4    6  5   6 6  5    6   6

As the mice were squealing in my prison cell.
5    6    -6       -6     6       5   45 -4   4  4     4

And that old tri-an-gle, it played jin-gle jan-gle
4       -4    5  -4 –4  4    6    6       6   5    6  5 6

All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
5    6-6    -6    6       5   45   –4  4    4  4



And in the mornin’ the screws they were bawlin’,
4      4  -3   -3   3     6       6        6     5      6 5 6

“Get up ya lousies and clean out yer cell.”
 -6   –6 –6   6     5   4 5    –4    4    4    4

And that old tri-an-gle it played jin-gle jan-gle
4      -4      5 –4–4 4     6    6       6  5     6 5  6 

All along the banks of the Royal Canal 
5    6-6    -6    6       5  4 5  –4  4   4  4


On a fine spring evenin’ the lag lay dreamin'
The sea-gulls beamin' high above the wall
And that old triangle, it goes jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.

The screw was peepin' and the lag lay sleepin'
As he lay there weepin’ for his good gal Sal.
And the old triangle, it plays jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.

In the female prison there are seventy women
And it's there with them that I'd like to dwell 
And the old triangle, would go jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.

Ah, the day was dyin’ and the lag was sighin’
As I lay cryin' in my prison cell
And that old triangle, it played jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
