***The Auld Triangle - B. Behan
from the album "Red Roses For Me"
The Auld Triangle - as perfomed by The Pogues
THE AULD TRIANGLE, from Red Roses For Me
GA hungry feeling
GCame o'er me stealing
And the Cmice were Emsqueeling
In my Amprison Ccell
And that auld triGangle went jingle-jangle
All alCong the Embanks of the DRoyal GCanal
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 loike 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 loike 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 loike 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
