All along the banks of the Royal Canal

And the seagulls were squealing high above the wall

And I wish to God it was with them that I did dwell
And the auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

All along the banks of the Royal Canal
The Auld Triangle was written by Brendan Behan.
