G5       G5  G5      G5

G5       G5  G5      G5

G5       G5  G5      G5
A hungry feeling 

G5       G5  G5      G5
Came o'er me stealing
        C5         G5        A5             D5
And the mice were squealing in my prison cell

CHORUS

G5       G5  G5      G5
And that aulde triangle

G5       G5  G5      G5
Went   jingle    jangle

C5         G5        A5     D5  G5
Along the banks of the Royal Canal.

To begin the morning
The warder bawling
Get out of bed and clean up your cell

[Chorus]

The screw was peeping
The lag was sleeping
While he lay weeping for the girl Sal

[Chorus]

On a fine spring evening
The lag lay dreaming
The seagulls wheeling high above the wall

[Chorus]

The wind was rising
And the day declining
As I lay pining in my prison cell

[Chorus]

In the female prison
There are seventy-five women
I wish it was with them that I did dwell

[Chorus]
