Dirty Old Town (Live)

I met my love by the gas works wall

I dreamed a dream by the old canal

I kissed my girl by the factory wall

Of this dirty old town, dirty old town

Dirty old town, dirty old town

Clouds are drifting across the moon

Cats are prowling over on their beat

Spring's a girl from the streets at night

Dirty old town, dirty old town

This dirty old town, this dirty old town

I heard a signal coming from the docks

I saw a train set the night on fire

I smelled the spring in the smoky wind

Of this dirty old town, this dirty old town

This dirty old town, this dirty old town, yeah

This dirty old town, this dirty old town

This dirty old town, this dirty old town

I'm going to make me a good sharp ax

Shining steel tempered in the fire

I'll chop you down like an old dead tree

Dirty old town, this dirty old town

This dirty old town, this dirty old town
