Dirty Old Town
I met my love, by the gas works
wall,
dreamed a dream, by the old canal,
Kissed my girl by the factory
wall,
Dirty old town, dirty old town
I heard a siren from the dock
Saw a train set the night on
fire
Smelled the spring in the smoky
wind
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.
I'm going to make a good sharp
axe
Shinning steel, tempered in the
fire
We'll chop you down like an old
oak tree
Dirty old town, dirty old town.
