The Auld Triangle Onóir

Details

Description

Our first ever musical endeavour as a group, originally recorded throughout the months of August and September 2020. This video was released in late September titled under the individual names of the group members as the band's name 'Onóir' had not yet been decided upon.

Within one week of it's release on FaceBook this music video had been seen by more than 3.5 million people across the world. Even given it's far-reaching success it would be another 12 months before we would get together to make a second song and music video, as our lives returned to their previously normal ways shortly after this time of pandemic restrictions.


Lyrics:

A hungry feeling came o'er me stealing
And the mice were squealing in my prison cell
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

To begin the morning a screw was bawling
'Get up you bowsie and clean up your cell'
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

The lags were sleeping, Humpy Gussy was creeping
As I lay there weeping for my girl Sal
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

In the female prison there are seventy five women
'Tis among them I wish I did dwell
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
