[Verse 1]
A hungry feeling
Came o'er me stealing
All the mice were squealing
In my prison cell

[Chorus]
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

[Verse 2]
To begin the morning
The screw was bawling
"Get up ya bowsie and clean up your cell!"

[Chorus]
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

[Verse 3]
The lags were sleeping
Humpy Gussy was peeping
As I lay there weeping for my girl Sal

[Chorus]
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
[Verse 4]
In the female prison
There are 75 women
And among them, I wish I did dwell

[Chorus]
Then the auld triangle could go jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
