GUEST,Griff	Lyr Req: First line of Dirty Old Town (11)	First line of Dirty Old Town	13 Aug 02
Does anyone know exactly what the last word of the first line of Ewan McColl's 'Dirty Old Town' is? I see that in the Mudcat songs pages they have put; 'I met my love by the gas works croft falls' !!?? Well it's definitely not that anyway. However, when asking around and trawling the internet for the definitive lyric I have only come up with even more interpretations such as; 'cross' or 'cry'. I have a couple of different versions of it on CD and from what I can make out it sounds like 'cross' which at least would make sense, in the sense that it's short for 'crossroads'. Can anyone help?
