Pogues, The - The Auld Triangle текст песни

A hungry feeling

Came o'er me stealing


And the mice were squeeling

In my prison cell

And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal



Oh! To start the morning

The warden bawling

"Get up out of bed, you! And Clean out your cell!"

And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal



Oh! the screw was peeping

And the loike was sleeping

As he lay weeping

For his girl Sal

And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal



On a fine Spring evening

The loike lay dreaming

And the sea-gulls were wheeling

High above the wall

And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal



Oh! the wind was sighing

And the day was dying

As the loike lay crying

In his prison cell

And that auld triangle went jingle-bloody-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal



In the women's prison

There are seventy women

And I wish it was with them

That I did dwell

Then that auld triangle could go jingle-jangle

All along the banks of the Royal Canal
