A #11 hit for
The Standells in 1966, "Dirty Water" is played at the end of every
Red Sox victory at
Fenway Park...
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
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, muggers, 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!
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!
Owww!
I love that dirty water!
Come on, come on!
Oddly enough, The Standells were from
Los Angeles.
