Start Jamming...
[G]
A hungry feeling [Bm] came over me stilling [C] And the mice [G] were squealing in [A] my prison [C] cell
And [G]
that old triangle went jingle [Bm] jangle [C] All along [G] the banks of [D] the Rock [G] Canal
Oh, to start the morning [Bm] the water bowl
[C] Get up
[G] and fetch you [A] and clean [G] out your [C] cell
And [G] that old triangle went [Bm] jingle jangle All
[C] along [G] the banks of [D] the Rock [G] Canal
Oh, the squirrel was peeping and [Bm] the lamb was sleeping
[C] As he lay [G] weeping [A] for his girl's [C] soul
And [G] that old triangle went jingle [Bm] jangle All [C]
along [G] the banks of [D] the [G] Royal Canal
And a fine spring evening
[Bm] the lark lay dreaming
[G] [C] And the [G] seagulls were wailing high [A] above the [C] wall
And [G] that old triangle went jingle
[Bm] jangle [G] All [C] along [G] the banks of [D] the Royal [G] Canal
Oh, the wind was sighing [Bm] and the day was [G]
dying
[C] As the lark [G] lay crying [A] in his prison [C] cell
And [G] that old triangle went jingle [Bm] bloody jangle [G] [C] All along [G]
the banks [D] of the Royal [G]
Canal
In [Bm] a [G] woman's prison there [Bm] are seventy women
[G] And [C] I wish it [G] was with them [A] that I [C] did dwell
And [G] that old triangle went [Bm] jingle jangle [Em] [C]
All along [G] the banks [D] of the Royal [G] Canal
