The Auld Triangle (The John Peel Show) [as Pogue Mahone] [April 1984] [Live] (The John Peel Show, as Pogue Mahone, April 1984, Live)

A hungry feelin' came o'er me stealing

And the mice were squealing in my prison cell

And that auld triangle went "jingle-jangle"

All along the banks of the Royal Canal

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 lag 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 lag lay dreaming

And the seagulls 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 lag lay cryin' 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 70 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
