I met my love By the gasworks wall Dreamed a dream By the old canal Kissed my girl By the factory wall Dirty old town Dirty old town I heard a siren Howlin' from the docks Saw a train Set the night on fire I felt the cold Of a wintery win Dirty old town Dirty old town Dark clouds drifting All across the sky Cats were prowling On down the street Black smoke rising From the chimney stacks Dirty old town It's a dirty old town I'm going to make me A big sharp axe A shining steel Tempered in the fire We'll chop you down Like an old oak tree This dirty old town Dirty old town I met my love By the gasworks wall Dreamed a dream By the old canal Kissed my girl By the factory wall Dirty old town Dirty old town It's a dirty Dirty old town Dirty old town Dirty old town
