Dirty Old Town Songtext
von Luke Kelly & The Dubliners

I met my love by the gas works 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 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 canal
I Kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
