The Auld Triangle The Pogues

[Verse 1]
A hungry feeling came o'er me stealing
And the mice were squealing in my prison cell
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

[Verse 2]
Oh, to start the morning, the warder bawling
"Get up out of bed, you, and clean out your cell"
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

[Verse 3]
Oh, the screw was peeping and the lag was sleeping
As he lay weeping for his girl Sal
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

[Verse 4]
On a fine spring evening, the lag lay dreaming
And the seagulls were wheeling high above the wall
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

[Verse 5]
Oh, the wind was sighing and the day was dying
As the lag lay crying in his prison cell
And that auld triangle went jingle-bloody-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
