The Auld Triangle - Paddy Reilly

A hungry feeling

Came o’er me stealin'

All the mice they were squeeling

All in my cell

And the Old Triangle

Went Jingle Jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

Early in the mornin'

The screws were bawling

Get up you balsy

And clean up your cell

And the Old Triangle

Went Jingle Jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

All the lang was sleeping

Hussy Gussy was peeping

As I lay there dreaming

Of my girl Sal

And the Old Triangle

Went Jingle Jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

In the female prison

There are 75 women

and I wished among them

That I did dwell

And that old triangle

could go jingle jangle

all along the banks of the Royal Canal.
