Dirty Old Town

(Ewan McColl)



Found my love by the gaswork croft

Dreamed a dream by the old canalKissed my girl by the factory wall

Dirty old town, dirty old townI heard a siren from the dock

Saw a train set the night on fireSmelled the spring on the sulfured wind

Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old townWe're goin' to take a good sharp axe

Shining steel tempered in the fireAnd we'll chop you down like an old dead tree

Dirty old town, dirty old townDirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town

And oh we'll chop you downOh, dirty, dirty, dirty old town

Dirty old town, dirty old townAnd oh whoa-oh dirty old town

Chop you down one of these days
