The Auld Triangle Lyrics - Damien Dempsey

The Auld Triangle 

Song from his play The Quare Fellow 

A hungry feeling, came o'er me stealing 

And the mice they were squealing in my prison cell 

And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle 

All along the banks of the Royal Canal 

Oh to start the morning, the warden 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

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 

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 

Oh the wind was sighing, and the day was dying 

As the lag lay crying in his prision cell 

And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle 

All along the banks of the Royal Canal
