Dirty old town (Dom intro Key D)

(V1) I met my love, by the gas works cry. And dreamed a dream, by the old canal. I kissed my girl, by the factory wall. You dirty old town, you dirty old town.

(V2) Clouds were drifting, across the moon, and cats are prowling, on their beat. Springs a girl, in the street at night. You dirty old town, you dirty old town. (Instrumental)

(V3) Heard a siren, from the dock, and saw a train, set the night on fire. And smelt the spring, in the smokey wind. You dirty old town, you dirty old town.

 (V4) I’m ganna make me a good sharp axe, shinning steel, tempered in the fire. And we’ll cut you down, like an old dead tree. You dirty old town, you dirty old town. (Instr + Vr one)

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

 

Clouds a drifting across the moon
Cats a prowling on their beat
Spring’s a girl in the street at night
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

 

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
Will chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town
