Songtext The auld triangle Justin Timberlake

The auld triangle

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
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 like 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 like lay dreaming
And the sea-gulls 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 like lay crying
In his prison cell
And that auld triangle went jingle-bloody-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal
In the women's prison
There are seventy women
And I wish it was with them

That I did dwell
Then that auld triangle could go jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
