歌词与中文翻译
I met my love by the gas works wall
煤气厂外遇见了爱
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
老运河边异想天开（做白日梦）
Kissed my girl by the factory wall
厂墙外亲过我的女孩
Dirty old town
这镇子又老又埋汰
Dirty old town
这镇子又老又埋汰
Clouds a drifting across the moon
星稀月朗飘过云彩
Cats a prowling on their beat
街上野猫自在徘徊
Spring's a girl from the streets at night
春天像夜晚街上的女孩
Dirty old town
这镇子又老又埋汰
Dirty old town
这镇子又老又埋汰

这首歌词最开始描述的是工业革命期间英国工业重镇索尔福德污染严重的城镇里年青一代的生活
I heard a siren from the docks
码头边女妖靡靡招徕
Saw a train set the night on fire
火车点亮夜空暮霭
Smelled the spring on the smoky wind
烟雾中春天扑鼻而来
Dirty old town
这镇子又老又埋汰
Dirty old town
这镇子又老又埋汰
I'm going to make me a good sharp axe
我要造把斧子锐尖刃快
Shining steel tempered in the fire
火中锻钢流光溢彩
Will chop you down like an old dead tree
砍你就像断木取柴
Dirty old town
这镇子又老又埋汰
Dirty old town
这镇子又老又埋汰
I met my love by the gas works wall
