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
