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


[Verse 2]
       G
Oh! To start the morning
           Bm
The warden bawling
        C      G
"Get up out of bed, you!
    A              C
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

 
[Verse 3]
         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


[Verse 4]
      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


[Verse 5]
        G
Oh! the wind was sighing
        Bm
And the day was dying
        C        Em
As the loike lay crying
       A      C
In his prison cell
         G                         Bm
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
       C      G            D     G
All along the banks of the Royal Canal


[Verse 6]
       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 went jingle-jangle
       C      G            D     G
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
