|
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 beats |
|
Springs 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 will chop you down like an 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 |
