Verso 1: I found my love by the gas works wall. Dreamed a dream by the old canal Kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town, dirty old town Verso 2: Clouds are drifting across the moon Cats are prowling on their beat Springs a girl in the streets at night Dirty old town, dirty old town Verso 3: I heard her siren from the docks Saw a train set the night on fire Smelled the spring on the smoky wind Dirty old town, dirty old town Instrumental | | Verso 4: 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 Dirty old town, dirty old town Outro I found my love by the gas works wall. Dreamed a dream by the old canal Kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town, dirty old town
