G Gmaj7 G6 Gmaj7

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 that aulde triangle

G Gmaj7 G6 Gmaj7
went jingle jangle

C G Am D G
along the banks of the royal canal .

to begin the morning
the warder bawling
get out of bed and clean up your cell

[ chorus ]

the screw was peeping
the lag was sleeping
while he lay weeping for the girl sal

[ chorus ]

on a fine spring evening
the lag lay dreaming
the seagulls wheeling high above the wall

[ chorus ]

the wind was rising
and the day declining
as i lay pining in my prison cell

[ chorus ]

in the female prison
there are seventy – five women
i wish it was with them that i did dwell

[ chorus ]

fade
