C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 C6 C6 Cmaj7 Cmaj7
A A hungry feeling,
C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 C6 C6 Cmaj7 Cmaj7
came o'er me stealing
F F C C Dm Dm G7 G7
And the mice were squealing in my prison cell

C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 C6 C6 Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And the auld triangle, went jingle jangle
F F C C Dm Dm G7 G7 C C
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

[intro] x2

C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 C6 C6 Cmaj7 Cmaj7
To begin the morning,
C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 C6 C6 Cmaj7 Cmaj7
a screw was bawling
F F C C Dm Dm G7 G7
Get up you bowsie, and clean up your cell

C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 C6 C6 Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And the auld triangle, went jingle jangle
F F C C Dm Dm G7 G7 C C
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

[intro] x2

C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 C6 C6 Cmaj7 Cmaj7
The lags were sleeping,
C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 C6 C6 Cmaj7 Cmaj7
humpy Gussy was creeping
F F C C Dm Dm G7 G7
As I lay there weeping for my girl Sal

C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 C6 C6 Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And the auld triangle, went jingle jangle
F F C C Dm Dm G7 G7 C C
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

[intro] x2

C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 C6 C6 Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Up in the female prison,
C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 C6 C6 Cmaj7 Cmaj7
there are seventy five women
F F C C Dm Dm G7 G7
'Tis among them I wish I did dwell

C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 C6 C6 Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And the auld triangle, went jingle jangle
F F C C Dm Dm C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 C6 C6 Cmaj7 Cmaj7
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

F F C C Dm Dm G7 G7 C C
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

About this song: The Auld Triangle

“The Auld Triangle” is a song composed by Dominic Behan for his brother Brendan, the renowned Irish playwright. It is featured in his play The Quare Fellow. It is used to introduce the play, a story about the occurrences in a prison (in real life Mountjoy Prison where Behan had once been lodged) the day a convict is set to be executed. The triangle in the title refers to the large metal triangle which was beaten daily in Mountjoy Prison to waken the inmates (“The Auld Triangle goes Jingle Jangle”). Read more on Last.fm.
