Ewan Mc Coll

1949

Couplet 3 Couplet 4
Heard a siren from the docks I'm going to make me a good sharp axe
Saw a train set the night on fire Shining steel tempered in the fire
Smelled the spring on the smoky wind Will chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town Dirty old town
Dirty old town Dirty old town
