Dirty Old Town Lyrics Artist(Band):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 If you find some error in Dirty Old Town Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

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. Others | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/19/2007 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. Dirty old town | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/12/2005 who wrote dirty old town?
