Dirty Old Town

Ewan MacColl

I met my love by the gas works wall
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 moon
Cats are prowling on their beat
Spring's a girl from the streets at night
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

I heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
I smelled the spring on the smoky wind

Dirty old town
Dirty old town

Yeah

I'm gonna 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

I met my love by the gas works wall (yeah)
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall (ah)

Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Was a dirty old town
A dirty old town
My town
