Dirty Old Town
1. I met my love by the gaswork's door
dreamed a dream by the old canal
kissed my boy by the factory wall
dirty old town, dirty old town.
2. The moon is shifting behind a cloud
cats are crawling all along the beat
springs a girl in the streets at night
dirty old town, dirty old town.
3.I heard a whistle coming from the docks
and a train set the night in fire,
smelled the spring on a smokefilled air,
dirty old town, dirty old town.
4. I'm gonna get me a nice sharp axe,
shining steal tempered in a fire,
cut you down like an old dead tree,
dirty old town, dirty old town.
