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.

The clouds are drifting,

across the moon.

Cats are prowling,

on their feet.

Spring-s- girl,

from the streets 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,

in that 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.

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.
