The Pogues — Dirty Old Town

[Verse 1] I met my love by the gas works wall Dreamed a dream by the old canal I kissed my girl by the factory wall [Refrain] Dirty old town, dirty old town [Verse 2] Clouds are drifting across the moon Cats are prowling on their beat Spring's a girl from the streets at night [Refrain] Dirty old town, dirty old town [Verse 3] I heard a siren from the docks Saw a train set the night on fire I smelled the spring on the smoky wind [Refrain] Dirty old town, dirty old town [Verse 4] I'm gonna make me a big sharp axe Shining steel tempered in the fire I'll chop you down like an old dead tree [Refrain] Dirty old town, dirty old town [Verse 1] I met my love by the gas works wall Dreamed a dream by the old canal I kissed my girl by the factory wall [Refrain] Dirty old town, dirty old town Dirty old town, dirty old town
