1 – I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
(Refrain) Dirty old town
Dirty old town
2 – Clouds are drifting across the moon
Cats are prowling on their beat
Spring’s a girl from the streets at night
3 – I heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
I smelled the spring on the smoky wind
4 – I’m gonna make me a big sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
I’ll chop you down like an old dead tree
5 – I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
(Refrain x 2)
