Dirty Old Town

i met my love by the gas works wall

dreamed a dream by the old canal

kissed a girl by the factory wall

dirty old town dirty old town

clouds a drifting across the moon

cats a prowling on their beat

spring's a girl in the street at night

dirty old town dirty old town

i heard a siren from the docks

saw a train set the night on fire

i smelled the spring on the smoky wind

dirty old town dirty old town

i'm gonna make me a good sharp a e

shining steel tempered in the fire

will chop you down like an old dead tree

dirty old town dirty old town

i met my girl by the gas works wall

dreamed a dream by the old canal

kissed a girl by the factory wall

dirty old town dirty old town
