I[C] met my love by the gas works wall,
Dreamed a[F] dream by the[G] old
ca[C]nal,
Kissed my[Am] girl by the factry[C] wall,
Dirty old[Am] town,[G]dirty old[Am] town
[2]
I heard a siren
from the docks,
Saw a train set the noght on fire,
Smelled the spring on the smoky wind,
Dirty old town,dirty old
town.
[3]
Clouds are drifting across the moon,
Cats are prowling on their beat
Springs a girl from the streets
at night,
Diriy old town,dirty old town.
[4]
I'm going to make me a good sharp axe,
Shining steel,tempered in
the fire,
I'll chop you down like an old dead tree,
Dirty old town,dirty old town
