Cat Power - Ye Auld Triangle Lyrics
(originally by Brendan Behan)A hungry feeling, came o'er me stealingAnd the mice they were squealing in my prison cellAnd that auld triangle, went jingle jangleAll along the banks of the Royal Canal.Oh to start the morning, the warden bawlingGet up out of bed you, and clean out your cellAnd that auld triangle, went jingle jangleAll along the banks of the Royal Canal.Oh the screw was peeping and the lag was sleepingAs he lay weeping for his girl SalAnd that auld triangle, went jingle jangleAll along the banks of the Royal Canal.On a fine spring evening, the lag lay dreamingAnd the seagulls were wheeling high above the wallAnd that auld triangle, went jingle jangleAll along the banks of the Royal Canal.Oh the wind was sighing, and the day was dyingAs the lag lay crying in his prision cellAnd that auld triangle, went jingle bloody jangleAll along the banks of the Royal Canal.In the female prison there are seventy womenAnd I wish it was with them that I did dwellAnd that auld triangle, went jingle jangleAll along the banks of the Royal Canal
