The Dubliners - St. Patrick's Day

Dirty Old Town

I met my love
By the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream
By the old canal

Kissed my girl
By the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

Clouds are drifting
Across the moon
Cats are prowling
On their beat

Spring-s-a girl
From the streets at night
Dirty old town
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
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

I'm going to make
A good sharp axe
Shining steel
Tempered in the fire

I'll chop you down
Like an old dead tree
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

I met my love
By the factory wall
Dreamed a dream
By the old canal

Kissed my girl
By the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

Dirty old town
Dirty old town
