Dirty Old Town

C      
I Met my love, by the gas yard wall 
          F                     C  
Dreamed a dream, by the old canal 
                                 
Kissed my girl, by the factory wall 
          G               Am   G   Am    
Dirty old town, dirty old town 
 
Heard a siren from the dock 
saw a train cut the night on fire 
smelled the breeze on the smokey wind 
dirty old town, dirty old town  
 
I'm going to make a big sharp ax 
shining steel tempered in the fire 
I'll cut you down like an old dead tree 
dirty old town, dirty old town  
 
Clouds are drifting on the street 
Cats are prowling on their beats 
Springs a girl on the streets at night 
dirty old town, dirty old town 
 
I Met my love, by the gas yard wall 
Dreamed a dream, by the old canal 
Kissed my girl, by the factory wall 
Dirty old town, dirty old town
