Dirt Old Town Lyrics

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

I heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
I smelled the breeze on the smoky wind
Dirty old town, dirty old town

Clouds are drifting across the streets
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 me a big sharp axe - axe!
Shining steel tempered in the fire
I'll cut you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town, 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

Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
