A hungry feeling, came o'er 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 Can*l To begin the morning, a screw was bawling Get up you bowsie, and clean up your cell And the auld triangle, went jingle jangle All along the banks of the Royal Can*l The lags were sleeping, humpy Gussy was creeping
As I lay there weeping for my girl Sal And the auld triangle, went jingle jangle All along the banks of the Royal Can*l Up in the female prison, there are seventy five women 'Tis among them I wish I did dwell Then the auld triangle, could go jingle jangle All along the banks of the Royal Can*l All along the banks of the Royal Can*l
