Dubliners - Dirty Old Town lyrics

rate me

I met my love by the gas works wall<br />

Dreamed a dream by the old canal<br />

I kissed my girl by the factory wall<br />

Dirty old town<br />

Dirty old town<br />

<br />

Clouds are drifting across the moon<br />

Cats are prowling on their beat<br />

Spring's a girl from the streets at night<br />

Dirty old town<br />

Dirty old town<br />

<br />

I heard a siren from the docks<br />

Saw a train set the night on fire<br />

Smelled the spring on the smoky wind<br />

Dirty old town<br />

Dirty old town<br />

<br />

I'm going to make me a good sharp axe<br />

Shining steel tempered in the fire<br />

I'll chop you down like an old dead tree<br />

Dirty old town<br />

Dirty old town<br />

<br />

I met my love by the gas works wall<br />

Dreamed a dream by the old canal<br />

I kissed my girl by the factory wall<br />

Dirty old town<br />

Dirty old town<br />

Dirty old town<br />

Dirty old town
