Dirty Old Town

no words to say as I knelt down to pray The bells, they began to chime Lost in the fray, too much to pay Another me for his time I remember that day as the bagpipes did play And the drummers they started to pound All the hands to their brow Without a sound as we laid our brother down We were given a sign, so we all formed a line A sea of unending blue And all of us mourn for a life that's been torn Away from us much too soon The procession passed by without a dry eye On its way to that hallowed ground The bugle did cry out through the blue sky As we laid our brother down And though we are lost, no matter the cost We've pledged our lives to this cause With those that have gone, we will carry on Without fear, without thought, without pause As all of us found, through New Year we're bound For the service of others we stay With our sacrifice, we'll keep on the fight Until under that flag we do lay Until under the flag we do lay

I met my love by the gasworks 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 feet Spring's a girl around the streets at night Dirty old town Dirty old town I heard a siren from the docks The train set the night on fire I smelled the spring on the smoky wind Dirty old town Dirty old town And while you're listening to Dirty Old Town by the Pogues, this is Farmer Hugh signing off for another week.

I hope everybody enjoyed the show and stayed in tuned to our show again next week and all the locally produced programming here at the station at WTBR 89.7 FM and WSBR 88.1 in Lee.

Be good, be kind, and keep your Irish eyes a-smiling.

Dirty old town Dirty old town, dirty old town, dirty old town.

Oh, my name is Mick McGuire.

I'm going to quickly tell it to you.

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 the girls are on the streets at night.

Dirty old town.

Dirty old town.
