I found my love by the gaswork4s call,
C G
Dreamed the dream by the old canal,
e G
Kissed my girl by the factory wall,

Dirty old town, dirty old town

I heard a siren from the dock,
Saw a train set the night on fire,
Smelled the spring in the smokey wind,
Dirty old town, dirty old town

Clouds are drifting across the moon,
Cats are prowling on their beat,
Spring4s a girl in the street of night,
Dirty old town, dirty old town

I4m going to make me a good sharp axe,
Shining steel, tempered in the fire,
We4ll chop you down like an old dead tree,
Dirty old town, dirty old town
