Dirty old town

I met my ^Glove by the gas works wall
Dreamed a ^Cdream by the old ca^Gnal
Kissed a girl by the factory wall
Dirty old ^D7town, Dirty old ^Emtown

I heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
I smelled the spring on the smoky wind
Dirty old town, Dirty old town

Clouds a drifting across the moon
Cats a prowling on their beat
Spring's a girl in the street at night
Dirty old town, Dirty old town

I'm gonna make me a good sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
Will chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town, Dirty old town

Dirty old town, Dirty old town
