Misc Traditional – The Auld Triangle (Guitar)

 C                   Em
A hungry feeling Came o'er me stealing

        F         C               D      F
And the mice were squealing In my prison cell

        C                   Em
And that Auld Triangle went jingle-jangle

     F        C             G      C
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

     C                   Em
To begin the morning the screw bawling

     F         C             D             F
"Get up out of bed, boy! And Clean up your cell!"

         C                   Em
And that Auld Triangle went jingle-jangle

     F        C             G      C
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

     C                        Em
On a fine Spring evening, The lag lay dreaming

        F         C         D              F
And the sea-gulls squealing High above the wall

        C                   Em
And that Auld Triangle went jingle-jangle

     F        C             G      C
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

        C                     Em
Oh! The day was dying And the wind was sighing

     F         C         D         F
As I lay there crying In my prison cell

         C                   Em
And that Auld Triangle went jingle-jangle

     F        C             G      C
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

        C                         Em
Oh! The screw was peeping and the lag was sleeping

      F         C            D        F
As he lay there weeping, For his poor gal

        C                   Em
And that Auld Triangle went jingle-jangle

     F        C             G      C
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

       C                       Em
In the female prison There are seventy women

      F                       D               F
And I wish to god it was with them That I did dwell

         C                   Em
And that Auld Triangle went jingle-jangle

     F        C             G      C
All along the banks of the Royal Canal x2
