Lyrics ....

Dirty Old Town       Play Midi 1(F115)       Midi 2(E100)      (background music is in "F" key at 115 BPM)
For Diatonic harmonica

I found my love 'neath the gasworks light,
Dreamed a dream by the old canal;
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 in the streets at night,
Dirty old town, dirty old town.

Heard a siren from the dock,
Saw a train set the night on fire;
Smelled the spring on the smoky wind,
Dirty old town, dirty old town.

I'm going to take a good sharp ax,
Shining steel tempered in the fire;
We'll chop you down like an old dead tree,
Dirty old town, dirty old town.
