Dirty Old Town
by Ewan McColl
Key <C>
I found my love by the gasworks croft
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I 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
Spring's a girl on the street at night
Dirty old town dirty old town
I heard a sire from across the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
smelled the spring on the smokey wind
Dirty old town dirty old town
I'm going to make a good sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
We'll chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town dirty old town
