Dirty Old Town D I met my love by the gas works croft G D Dreamed a dream by the old canal G D Kissed my girl by the factory wall A G It's a dirty old town, a dirty old town I heard a siren coming from the docks Saw a train set the night on fire Smelled the spring on the smoky air It's a dirty old town, dirty old town I'm going to take a good sharp axe Shining steel tempered in the fire Gonna cut you down just like an old dead tree It's a dirty old town, dirty old town
