作词 : MACCOLL, EWAN
I  met  my  love  by  the  gas  works  wall
Dreamed  a  dream  by  the  old  canal
Kissed  a  girl  by  the  factory  wall
Dirty  old  town
Dirty  old  town
Clouds  a  drifting  across  the  moon
Cats  a  prowling  on  their  beat
Spring's  a  girl  in  the  street  at  night
Dirty  old  town
Dirty  old  town
Heard  a  siren  from  the  docks
Saw  a  train  set  the  night  on  fire
Smelled  the  spring  on  the  smokey  wind
Dirty  old  town
Dirty  old  town
I'm  going  to  make  a  good  sharp  axe
Shining  steel  tempered  in  the  fire
Will  chop  you  down  like  an  old  dead  tree
Dirty  old  town
