The Dubliners - Dirty old town lyrics
Your rating:
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, dirty old town Clouds are drifting across the moon Cats are prowling on their beat Springs a girl from the streets at night Dirty old town, dirty old town I heard a siren call from the docks Saw a train set the night on fire Smelled the spring on the smoky wind Dirty old town, dirty old town I'm going to make 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 gasworks croft Dreamed a dream by the old canal I kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town, dirty old town
