I met my \Ch{G}{love}, by the gas yard wall

Dreamed a \Ch{C}{dream}, by the old \Ch{G}{canal}

Kissed my \Ch{Em}{girl}, by the factory \Ch{G}{wall}

Dirty old \Ch{D}{town}, dirty old \Ch{Em}{town}

\bigskip

I heard a siren from the dock

Saw a train cut the night on fire

Smelled the breeze on the smokey wind

Dirty old town, dirty old town

\bigskip

I'm going to make a big sharp ax

Shining steel tempered in the fire

I'll cut ye down like an old dead tree

Dirty old town, dirty old town

\bigskip

Clouds are drifting on the street

Cats are prowling on their beats

Springs a girl on the streets at night

Dirty old town, dirty old town

\bigskip

I Met my love, by the gas yard wall

Dreamed a dream, by the old canal

Kissed my girl, by the factory wall

Dirty old town, dirty old town
