I met my love by the gas works wall
B F#
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
B F#
Cats are prowling on their beat
Springʼs a girl from the streets at night
C# D#m
Dirty old town, dirty old town

I Heard a siren from the docks
B F#
Saw a train set the night on fire
I Smelled the spring on the smoky wind
C# D#m
Dirty old town, dirty old town
F#
Iʼm gonna make me a big sharp axe
B F#
Shining steel tempered in the fire
Iʼll chop you down like an old dead tree
C# D#m
Dirty old town, dirty old town
F#
I met my love by the gas works wall
B F#
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
C# D#m
Dirty old town, dirty old town
C# D#m
Dirty old town, dirty old town
