verse 1 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 verse 2 Clouds are drifting across the moon Cats are prowling on their beat Spring’s a girl from the streets at night Dirty old town, dirty old town verse 3 I heard a 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 verse 4 I'm going to make a big sharp axe Shining steel tempered in the fire I'll cut you down like an old dead tree Dirty old town, dirty old town verse 5 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
