I found my love where the gaslight falls Dreamed a dream by the old can*l Kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town, dirty old town Clouds are drifting across the moon Cats are prowling on their beat Springs a girl in the streets at night Dirty old town, dirty old town I heard her sigh from the decks 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 take a good sharp ax Shining steel tempered in the fire We'll chop you down like an old dead tree Dirty old town, dirty old town
