Dirty Old Town Lyrics

I met my love
By the factory walls

Dreamed a dream
By the old canal

And I kissed my girl
By the gas works wall

It's a dirty old town
It's a dirty old town

I heard a siren
Coming from the docks
Saw a train
Set the night on fire

I smelled the spring
On the smoky wind

It's a dirty old town
It's a dirty old town

Clouds are drifting
Across the moon
Cats are prowling
On their beat
Spring's a girl
From the streets at night

It's a dirty old town
It's a dirty old town

I'm gonna make me
A good sharp ax
With shinny steel
Tempered in the fire

I'll chop you down
Like an old dead tree

It's a dirty old town
It's a dirty old town

I met my love
By the factory walls

Dreamed a dream
By the old canal

And I kissed my girl
By the gas works wall

It's a dirty old town
It's a dirty old town
