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
