DIRTY OLD TOWN

(Ewan MacColl)



I found my love where the gaslight falls

Dreamed a dream by the old canal

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 in the streets at night

Dirty old town, dirty old town



I heard her sigh from the decks

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 take a good sharp ax

Shining steel tempered in the fire

We'll chop you down like an old dead tree

Dirty old town, dirty old town
