"The Auld Triangle" lyrics - PUNCH BROTHERS

A hungry feelin' came o'er me stealin'
And the mice were squealin' 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 bawlin'
"Get up, you bowsie and clean up your cell"
And the auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

The lags were sleepin'
Humpy Gussy was creepin'
As I lay there weepin' for my girl Sal
And the auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

Up in the female prison there's seventy-five women
And among them I wish I did dwell
Then the auld triangle could go jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
