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 adrifting 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
 Smelled the spring on the smoky wind
 Dirty old town, dirty old town
 
 ♪
 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
 Dirty old town, dirty old town
 Dirty old town, 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
