Dirty Old Town

Dirty Old Town - The Royal Irish Rangers/Geraghty

I met my love by the factory wall

Dreamed a dream by the old canal

And I kissed my girl by the gas works wall

Oh it's a dirty old town

It's a dirty old town

I Heard a siren siren from the docks

Saw a train set the night on fire

And I smelled the spring on the smoky wind

Oh it's a dirty old town

It's a dirty old town

Those clouds are drifting across the moon

Cats are prowling way on their beat

And spring's a girl from the streets at night

It's a dirty old town

It's a dirty old town

I'm going to make me a big sharp axe

Where the shining steel tempered in the fire

And I'll chop you down like an old dead tree

Oh it's a dirty old town

It's a dirty old town

I met my love by the factory wall

Dreamed a dream by the old canal

And I kissed my girl by the gas works wall

It's a dirty old town

It's a dirty old town
