A hungry feelingCame o'er me stealingAnd the mice were squealingIn my prison cellAnd that auld triangle went jingle-jangleAll along the banks of the Royal CanalOh! To start the morningThe warden bawling"Get up out of bed, you! And Clean out your cell!"And that auld triangle went jingle-jangleAll along the banks of the Royal CanalOh! the screw was peepingAnd the like was sleepingAs he lay weepingFor his girl SalAnd that auld triangle went jingle-jangleAll along the banks of the Royal CanalOn a fine Spring eveningThe like lay dreamingAnd the sea-gulls were wheelingHigh above the wallSongtexteAnd that auld triangle went jingle-jangleAll along the banks of the Royal CanalOh! the wind was sighingAnd the day was dyingAs the like lay cryingIn his prison cellAnd that auld triangle went jingle-bloody-jangleAll along the banks of the Royal CanalIn the women's prisonThere are seventy womenAnd I wish it was with themThat I did dwellThen that auld triangle could go jingle-jangleAll along the banks of the Royal Canal Aus Songtexte Mania
