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.
