Dirty Old Town

I met my love by the gas yard 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 spring on 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 on the streets at night

Dirty Old Town

Dirty Old Town

I'm going to make a big sharp axe

Shining steel tempered in the fire

I'll chop you down like and old dead tree

Dirty Old Town

Dirty Old Town

I met my love by the gas yard 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
