I met my love by the gas yard wall I dreamed a dream by the old can*l I kissed my love by the factory wall Dirty ol' town, dirty ol' town I heard a siren coming from the docks I saw a train set the night on fire I smelled a strain on the smokey wind Dirty ol' town, dirty ol' town I'm going to make a good sharp axe With shining steel tempered in the fire Going to chop you down like an old dead tree Dirty ol' town, dirty ol' town I met my love by the gas yard wall I dreamed a dream by the old can*l I kissed my love by the factory wall Dirty ol' town, dirty ol' town
