Lyrics:

I met my love by the gasworks wall**lf**Dreamed a dream by the old canal**lf**I kissed my girl by the factory wall**lf**Dirty old town**lf**Dirty old town**lf****lf**Clouds are drifting across the moon**lf**Cats are prowling on their beat**lf**Springs a girl from the streets at night**lf**Dirty old town**lf**Dirty old town**lf****lf**I heard a siren from the docks**lf**Saw a train set the night on fire**lf**I smelled the spring on the smoky wind**lf**Dirty old town**lf**Dirty old town**lf****lf**I''m gonna make me a big sharp axe**lf**Shining steel tempered in the fire**lf**I''ll chop you down like an old dead tree**lf**Dirty old town**lf**Dirty old town**lf****lf**I met my love by the gasworks wall**lf**Dreamed a dream by the old canal**lf**I kissed my girl by the factory wall**lf**Dirty old town**lf**Dirty old town**lf****lf**Dirty old town**lf**Dirty old town
