The Dubliners - Dirty Old Town lyrics

I met my love by the gas works wall Dreamed a dream by the old can*l I kissed a girl by the factory wall Dirty old town dirty old town Clouds are drifting across the moon Cats a prowling on their beat Spring's a girl in the street at night Dirty old town dirty old town Heard a siren from the docks Saw a train set the night on fire Smelled the spring in the smokey wind Dirty old town dirty old town I'm going to make a good sharp axe Shining steel tempered in the fire Will chop you down like an old dead tree Dirty old town dirty old town Dirty old town dirty old town
