The Auld Triangle

Brendan Behan

A hungry feeling
Came o'er me stealing
All 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
A screw was bawling
"Get up, ya bowsie
And clean up your cell"
And the auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

The lags were sleeping
Humpy Gussy was creeping
As I lay there weeping
For my gal Sal
And the auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

Up in the female prison
There are seventy-five women
'Tis among them I wish I did dwell
Then the old triangle could go jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
