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 Clouds are drifting across the moon Cats are prowling on their beat Spring's a girl from the streets at night Dirty old town Dirty old town Dirty old town Dirty old town baby Dirty old town Dirty old town baby I heard a siren from the docks Saw a train set the night on fire I smelled the spring on the smoky wind I smelled the spring on the smoky wind I'm going to make me a good sharp axe Shining steel tempered in the fire I'll chop you down like an old dead tree 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
