The Auld Triangle

	  		    G 
A hungry feeling 
      Bm 
Came o'er me stealing 
         C           G 
And the mice were squeeling 
        A      C 
In my prison cell 
          G                  Bm 
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle 
     C         G            D     G 
All along the banks of the Royal Canal 

        G 
Oh! To start the morning 
      Bm 
The warden bawling 
     C           G             A             C 
"Get up out of bed, you! And Clean out your cell!" 
          G                   Bm 
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle 
     C         G            D     G 
All along the banks of the Royal Canal 

         G 
Oh! the screw was peeping 
         Bm 
And the loike was sleeping 
    C         G 
As he lay weeping 
     A        C 
For his girl Sal 
           G                  Bm 
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle 
     C         G            D     G 
All along the banks of the Royal Canal 

      G 
On a fine Spring evening 
      Bm 
The loike lay dreaming 
         C              G 
And the sea-gulls were wheeling 
      A         C 
High above the wall 
           G                  Bm 
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle 
     C         G            D     G 
All along the banks of the Royal Canal 

         G 
Oh! the wind was sighing 
         Bm 
And the day was dying 
        C         G 
As the loike lay crying 
        A      C 
In his prison cell 
          G                   Bm 
And that auld triangle went jingle BLOODY-jangle 
     C         G            D     G 
All along the banks of the Royal Canal 

        G 
In the women's prison 
           Bm 
There are seventy women 
       C           G 
And I wish it was with them 
     A      C 
That I did dwell 
          G                      Bm 
And that auld triangle CAN GO jingle-jangle 
     C         G            D     G 
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
