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) |
