I met my love, by the gas works croft Dreamed a dream, by the old canal. I kissed my girl, by the factory wall. Dirty old town, dirty old town. Clouds are drifting, across the moonlight, Cats are prowling, on their beat. Springs a girl, on the streets at night Dirty old town, you're a dirty old town. ♪ I hear a siren, from the docks. Saw a train, set the night on fire. I smelled the spring on the smokey wind. Diry old town, dirty old town. We're going to make, 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. I met my love. By the gasworks croft. Dreamed a dream, by the old canal, I kissed my girl, by the factory wall. Dirty old town, you're a dirty old town. Dirty old town, dirty old town.
