Dirty Old Town

MacColl I found my love by the gasworks croft Dreamed a dream by the old canal I kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town, dirty old town I heard a siren from the docks Saw a train set the night on fire Smelled the spring in the saltkirk wind Dirty old town, dirty old town We'll go and make a good sharp axe Shining steel tempered in the fire We'll chop you down like an old dead tree Dirty old town, dirty old town I found my love by the gasworks croft Dreamed a dream by the old canal I kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town, dirty old town
