Ewan MacColl — Dirty Old Town

[Verse 1] I found my love by the gasworks croft Dreamed a dream by the old canal Kissed my girl by the factory wall [Refrain] Dirty old town, dirty old town [Verse 2] I heard a siren from the docks Saw a train set the night on fire Smelled the spring on the smoky wind [Verse 3] Clouds are floating across the moon Cats are prowling upon their beat Spring's a girl in the streets at night [Refrain] Dirty old town, dirty old town [Verse 4] I'm going to make a good sharp axe Shining steel tempered in the fire We'll chop you down like an old dead tree [Refrain] Dirty old town, dirty old town
