Lyrics:

I found my love in the gaslight's glow
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed my girl by the factory wall

Dirty old town, dirty old town

Clouds are drifting across the moon
Cats are prowling all along their beat
Spring's a girl in the street at night

Dirty old town, dirty old town

I heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
Smelt the spring on the smokey wind

Dirty old town, dirty old town

I'm going to take me 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
Dirty old town, dirty old town
