Dirty Water Songtext
von The Standells

I′m gonna tell you a story
I'm gonna tell you about my town
I′m gonna tell you a big fat story, baby
Oh, it's all about my town

Yeah, down by the river
Down by the banks of the river Charles
Oh, that's what′s happenin′, baby
That's where you′ll find me
Along with lovers, muggers, and thieves
Oh, but they're cool people

Well, I love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you′re my home
Oh, you're the number one place


Frustrated women (I mean they′re frustrated)
Have to be in by 12 o'clock (oh, that's a shame)
But I′m a-wishin′ and a-hopin', oh
That just once those doors weren′t locked
I like to save time for my baby to walk around

Well, I love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you're my home, oh, yeah

′Cause I love that dirty water
Oh, oh, Boston, you're my home, oh, yeah

Well, I love that dirty water (I love it, baby)
I love that dirty water (I love Boston)
I love that dirty water (have you heard about the strangler?)
I love that dirty water (I′m the man, I'm the man)
I love that dirty water (oh)
I love that dirty water (come on)
I kinda love that dirty water (come on)
I love that-
