Dirty Old Town Lyrics - Singles - Clancy Brothers

I found my love 'neath the gasworks croft falls 

Dreamed a dream by the old canal 

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 

Heard a siren from the dock 

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
