Dirty Old Town

I found my love in the gas light 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 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

Smelled the Spring on the smokey wind

Dirty old town

Dirty old town



I'm gonna 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
