Intro

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

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

Bridge played over:

Heard a siren from the dock

saw a train cut the night on fire

smelled the breeze on the smokey wind

dirty old town, dirty old town

I'm going to make me a big sharp ax

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
