Found my love by the gaswork croft
Dreamed a dream by the old c!@#^
Kissed my girl by the factory wall

Dirty old town, dirty old town

I heard a siren from the dock

Saw a train set the night on fire
Smelled the spring on the sulfured wind
Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town


We're goin' to take a good sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire

And we'll chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town


And oh we'll chop you down
Oh, dirty, dirty, dirty old town

Dirty old town, dirty old town
And oh whoa-oh dirty old town
Chop you down one of these days
