Best Of The Standells: Golden Archives Series
 
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)
 
Well, I love that dirty water (I love it, baby)
I love that dirty water (I love Baw-stun)
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 (Oww!)
I love that dirty water (Come on, come on)
