Dirty Old Town

[Verse 1] I found my love by a gas works croft Dreamed a dream by the old canal I kissed my girl by the factory wall [Refrain] Dirty old town, dirty old town [Verse 2] The moon is shifting behind a cloud Cats are crawling all along the beat And spring's a girl in the streets at night [Refrain] Dirty old town, dirty old town [Verse 3] Heard a siren calling from the docks Saw a train set the night on fire I smelled the spring on the smoky wind [Refrain] Dirty old town, dirty old town [Verse 4] I'm going to make a good sharp axe Shining steel tempered in the fire We'll chop you down like an old dead tree [Refrain] Dirty old town, dirty old town
