Luke Kelly - Dirty old town lyrics

I met my love by the gas works croft Dreamed a dream by the old can*l I Kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town Dirty old town Clouds are drifting across the moon Cats a prowling on their beat Spring's a girl from the streets at night Dirty old town Dirty old town I Heard a siren from the docks Saw a train set the night on fire Smelled the spring on the smoky wind

Dirty old town Dirty old town I'm going to make me a good sharp axe Shining steel tempered in the fire I'll chop you down like an old dead tree Dirty old town Dirty old town I met my love by the gas works croft Dreamed a dream by the old can*l I Kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town Dirty old town
