Dirty Old Town Lyrics
Artist(Band):Pogues
Dirty Old Town ( The Pogues )
( Intro vers ) ( D )
G
I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I Kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Clouds are drifting across the moon
Cats are prowling on their beat
Spring's a girl from the streets at night
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
( Solo vers ) ( C )
G
I Heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
I Smelled the spring on the smoky wind
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
I'm gonna make me a big sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
I'll chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

Review about Dirty Old Town
' Dirty Old Town ' | Reviewer: Gregor McKwar | 5/7/2008
' Dirty Old Town ' was written by Ewan MacColl, the late Kirsty MacColl's father, in 1949. It is about the industrial city of Salford where he grew up. Salford in a north west of England city next to Manchester!
Mr. Moon's Version | Reviewer: John Sieger | 3/6/2008
First trip to England last month. Met and jammed with Mr. Moon in Sheerness. His version was outrageous and funny! He changed one lyric... "I kissed my girl where the sun don't shine" One of the greatest songs ever written.
Classic!
Dirty Old Town | Reviewer: Chris | 6/16/2007
The best album for this is "Run Sodomy and the Lash" - Fantasic Album - Sally Maclennane is the best track though - great drinking song.

The Mountain Goats also do a great a version of this song, you all should check it out!
Dirty Old Town | Reviewer: Amanda | 10/12/2005
Dirty Old Town was written by Ewan MacColl in 1956. The song refers to Salford in Manchester. Made more famous really, I think by The Pogues whose version is stellar. A great song.
