Dirty Old Town
The Dubliners
Met my Glove, by the gasworks croft
Dreamed a Cdream, by the old Gcanal
I kissed my Ggirl, by the factory wall
Dirty old Dtown, dirty old EmtownG
Clouds are Gdrifting across the moon
Cats are Cprowling on their Gbeat
Spring’s a Ggirl from the streets at night
Dirty old Dtown, dirty old EmtownG
I heard a Gsiren from the docks
Saw a Ctrain set the night on Gfire
Smelled the Gspring on the smoky wind
Dirty old Dtown, dirty old EmtownG
I'm going to Gmake a big sharp axe
Shining Csteel tempered in the Gfire
I'll cut you Gdown like an old dead tree
Dirty old Dtown, dirty old EmtownG
Met my Glove, by the gas works wall
Dreamed a Cdream, by the old Gcanal
I kissed my Ggirl, by the factory wall
Dirty old Dtown, dirty old Emtown
Dirty old Dtown, dirty old Gtown
