G
A hungry feeling
      Bm
Came o'er me stealing
         C           G
And the mice were squeeling
        A      C
In my prison cell
          G                  Bm
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
     C         G            D     G
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

        G
Oh! To start the morning
      Bm
The warden bawling
     C           G             A             C
"Get up out of bed, you! And Clean out your cell!"
          G                   Bm
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
     C         G            D     G
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

         G
Oh! the screw was peeping
         Bm
And the loike was sleeping
    C         G
As he lay weeping
     A        C
For his girl Sal
           G                  Bm
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
     C         G            D     G
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

      G
On a fine Spring evening
      Bm
The loike lay dreaming
         C              G
And the sea-gulls were wheeling
      A         C
High above the wall
           G                  Bm
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
     C         G            D     G
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

         G
Oh! the wind was sighing
         Bm
And the day was dying
        C         G
As the loike lay crying
        A      C
In his prison cell
          G                   Bm
And that auld triangle went jingle BLOODY-jangle
     C         G            D     G
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

        G
In the women's prison
           Bm
There are seventy women
       C           G
And I wish it was with them
     A      C
That I did dwell
          G                      Bm
And that auld triangle CAN GO jingle-jangle
     C         G            D     G
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
