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 Now clouds a drifting across the moon cats a prowling on their beat spring's a girl in the street at night dirty old town dirty old town I Heard a siren from the docks saw a train set the night on fire I smelled the spring on the smoky wind dirty old town dirty old town I'm going to make me a good sharp axe shining steel tempered in the fire will chop you down like an old dead tree dirty old town dirty old town dirty old town dirty old town
