Dirty Old Town

Lyrics

[Chorus] I met my love by the gas works croft Dreamed a dream by the old canal Kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town, dirty old town [Verse 1] Clouds are drifting across the moon Cats are prowling on their beat Springs a girl from the streets at night Dirty old town, dirty old town [Verse 2] I heard a siren from the docks Saw a train set the night on fire Smelled the spring on the smoky wind Dirty old town, dirty old town [Verse 3] I'm going to make a good sharp axe Shining steel tempered in the fire I'll chop you down like an old dead tree Dirty old town, dirty old town [Chorus] I met my love by the factory 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
