Dirty Old Town

I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town, dirty old town
I heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
I smelled the breeze on the smoky wind
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Clouds are drifting across the streets
Cats are prowling on their beat
Spring’s a girl on the streets at night
Dirty old town, dirty old town
I’m going to make me a big sharp axe — axe!
Shining steel tempered in the fire
I’ll cut you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town, dirty old town
I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town (16x)
