Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

A hungry feeling Came o'er me stealing

And the mice were squealing In my prison cell

To begin the morning The warden bawling

"Get up out of bed, boy! And Clean up your cell!"

And that Auld Triangle went jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

(finish bar with G which leads into next verse)

On a fine Spring evening

The lag lay dreaming

And the sea-gulls squealing

High above the wall

Oh! the day was dying

And the wind was sighing

As I lay there crying

In my prison cell

And that Auld Triangle went jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

Oh! the screw was peeping

And the lag was sleeping

As he lay there weeping

For his poor gal

And that Auld Triangle went jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

In the female prison

There are seventy women

And I wish to god it was with them

That I did dwell

And that Auld Triangle went jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal
