townes van zandt - dirty old town lyrics
[verse 1]
i met my love
by the gas works vault
dreamed a dream
by the old c-n-l
i kissed my girl
by the factory wall
[bridge]
dirty old town
dirty old town
[verse 2]
clouds are drivting
across the moon
the cats are prowling
on their beast
springs the girls
from the streets of town
[bridge]
dirty old town
dirty old town
[verse 3]
i heard a sigh
run from the dark
saw a tree
set the night on fire
i smelled the spring
on the salty wind
[bridge]
dirty old town
dirty old town
[verse 4]
i’m gonna make me
a picture of fine
shining sill
comfort in the fire
i’ll chop you down
like an old dutch tree
[bridge]
dirty old town
dirty old town
[verse 5]
i met my love
by the gas works vault
dreamed a dream
by the old c-n-l
i kissed my girl
by the factory wall
[bridge]
dirty old town
dirty old town
dirty old town
