Canal w Salford – Wikipedia
Almost everyone, who goes to Ireland knows this song, and if not, it's probably after a few days stay here to hear it. In every pub, which flies out of the speakers or the music is played live always hear this song. A song about, and surprise surprise, factory district of Manchester.
The song was written in 1949 , and talked about the Salford area of Manchester called. The song talked about life in this part of town, of factories, dirty canals, stale air. It is interesting, that song, after changing a few words, was “adapted” the team “The Dubliners” a song about the capital of Ireland and I think it is seen, a song about Dublin.
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
I heard a siren from the docks
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 make me a good 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
I met my love by the wall gasworks
I dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girlfriend against a wall factory
Be, dirty city
Be, dirty city
Clouds float with the moon
Cats prowl at his own pace
Spring is a girl from the streets at night
Be, dirty city
Be, dirty city
I heard a siren from the docks
I saw the train on fire at night
I felt a spring in smoke, which carried wind
Be, dirty city
Be, dirty city
I'm going to make a sharp ax
Shiny steel hardened in the fire
Chop you like an old tree
Be, dirty city
Be, dirty city
I met my love by the wall gasworks
I dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girlfriend against a wall factory
Be, dirty city
Be, dirty city
Be, dirty city
Be, dirty city
