Dirty Old Town

Met my love, by the gas yard wall

Dreamed a dream, by the old canal

Kissed my girl, by the factory wall

Dirty old town, dirty old town

Clouds are drifting across the moon

Cats are prowling on their beat

Spring's a girl in the street at night

Dirty old town, dirty old town

Heard a siren from the dock

Saw a train set the night on fire

smelled the breeze on the smokey wind

Dirty old town, dirty old town

I'm going to make a big sharp axe

Shining steel tempered in the fire

I'll chop you down like an old dead tree

Dirty old town, dirty old town

Met my love, by the gas yard wall

Dreamed a dream, by the old canal

Kissed my girl, by the factory wall

Dirty old town, dirty old town

Dirty old town, dirty old town
