Dirty Water Lyrics - Singles - Bronson Arroyo

(by The Standells) 

(Spoken:) 

I'm gonna tell you a story 

I'm gonna tell you about my town 

I'm gonna tell you a big bad story, baby 

Aww, it's all about my town 

Yeah, down by the river 

Down by the banks of the river Charles (aw, that's what's happenin' baby) 

That's where you'll find me 

Along with lovers, fuggers, and thieves (aw, 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 twelve o'clock (oh, that's a shame) 

But I'm 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) 

Because I love that dirty water 

Oh, oh, Boston, you're my home (oh, yeah)
