A C hungry feeling came o’er me stealing,
And theF mice wereAm squealing in my Dm prison F cell,
Chorus
And the ould triCangle went jingle jangle,
All F along theAm banks of theG Royal CaCnal.
To C start the morning, the warden bawling,
Get F out of Am bed you, and clean Dm out your F cell,
Chorus
Oh the C screw was peeping,and the loike was sleeping,
As F he lay Am weeping for Dm his girl F Sal.
Chorus
On a C fine spring evening, the loike lay dreaming,
And the F seagulls were Am wheeling, high Dm above the F wall,
Chorus
Oh the C wind was sighing, and the day was dying,
As the F loike lay Am crying, in his Dm prison F cell,
Chorus
In the C woman's prison there are seventy women,
And I F wish it was Am with them, that Dm I did F dwell.
Chorus
