A hungry feeling Came o’er me stealingÿ And the mice were squealing In my prison cellÿ Chorus And the old triangle Went jingle jangleÿ All along the banks Of the Royal Canalÿ To begin the morning The warder’s bawlingÿ “Get out of bed And clean up your cell”ÿ On a fine spring evening The lag lay dreamingÿ The seagulls wheeling High above the wall The screw was peeping The lag was sleepingÿ While he lay weeping For his girl Salÿ The wind was rising And the day decliningÿ As I lay pining In my prison cellÿ The day was dying And the wind was sighingÿ As I lay crying In my prison cell
