Roger Whittaker - Dirty Old Town lyrics

Found my love by the gas works croft

Dreamed a dream by the old canal

Kissed my girl by the factory wall

Dirty old town (2x).

The clouds are drifting across the moon

Cats a prowling on their beat

Spring's a girl in the street at night

Dirty old town (2x).

I heard a siren from the docks

Saw a train set the night on fire

Smelled the spring on the smoky wind

You dirty old town (2x).

I'm gonna make me a good sharp axe

Shining steel tempered in the fire

Will chop you down like an old dead tree

You dirty old town (2x).
