G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7

G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7

G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
A hungry feeling 

G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
Came o'er me stealing
        C         G        Am             D7
And the mice were squealing in my prison cell

CHORUS

G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
And that aulde triangle

G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
Went   jingle    jangle

C         G        Am     D  G
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]
