G Gmaj7 G6 Gmaj7
[Verse]
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 the auld triangle
G Gmaj7 G6 Gmaj7
Went jingle jangle
C G Am D G
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
[Verse]
To begin the morning
A screw was bawling
Get up ya bousey and clean out your cell
[Chorus]
G Gmaj7 G6 Gmaj7
And the auld triangle
G Gmaj7 G6 Gmaj7
Went jingle jangle
C G Am D G
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
[Verse]
On a fine spring evening
The lag lay dreaming
The seagulls wheeling high above the wall
[Chorus]
G Gmaj7 G6 Gmaj7
And the auld triangle
G Gmaj7 G6 Gmaj7
Went jingle jangle
C G Am D G
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
[Verse]
The lag lay sleeping
Oh the loike was creeping
And I lay there weeping for my good girl Sal
[Chorus]
G Gmaj7 G6 Gmaj7
And the auld triangle
G Gmaj7 G6 Gmaj7
Went jingle jangle
C G Am D G
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
[Verse]
The wind was rising
And the day declining
As I lay pining in my prison cell
[Chorus]
G Gmaj7 G6 Gmaj7
And the auld triangle
G Gmaj7 G6 Gmaj7
Went jingle jangle
C G Am D G
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
[Verse]
Up in the female prison
There are seventy-five women
And it is among them that I wish I did dwell
[Chorus]
G Gmaj7 G6 Gmaj7
And the auld triangle
G Gmaj7 G6 Gmaj7
Went jingle jangle
C G Am D G
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
