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
