THE AULD TRIANGLE A hungry feeling came oŽer me stealing And the mice were squealing in my prison cell And the auld triangle went jingle jangle All along the banks of the Royal canal To begin the morning the screw was bawling Get up you bowsers and clean out your cell And the auld triangle went jingle jangle All along the banks of the Royal canal In a female prison there were 75 women And I wish among them that I did dwell And the auld triangle went jingle jangle All along the banks of the Royal canal I wish to blazes theyŽd change the wages From 50 shillings ah to two pounds ten Then the auld triangle could go jingle jangle All along the banks of the Royal canal ![]() |
