Roger Whittaker Dirty Old Town Lyrics

I found my love by the gas works croft
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed my girl by the factory wall

You dirty old town
You dirty old town

The clouds a drifting across the moon
Cats a prowling on their beat
Spring's a girl in the street at night

You dirty old town
You 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

You dirty old town
You 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

You dirty old town
You dirty old town
