lyrics

A hungry feelin' came o're me stealin'
And the mice were squealin' in my prison cell
And the old triangle it went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the royal canal

Just as the day was dawning the screw was bawling
Sayin' "Get up, ye bowsie and clean up your cell"
And the old triangle it went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the royal canal

Humpy Gussy lay sleepin' the screw was peepin'
As I lay there weeping for my girl Sal
And the old triangle it went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the royal canal

Up in the female prison there are seventy five women
And it is among them that I wish that I did dwell
Then that old triangle it could go jingle jangle
All along the banks of the royal canal

Loved folk for years and started recording during quarantine. I collect songs that tell a story or evoke an emotion. Thank you for your support. All the money goes to recording somewhere other than my moving car. I would like to raise 70 dollars for two hours at the local recording studio to make an album for my sister. ... more
