Shakin Stevens - Dirty Water

She was a good girl
Man, she was so pretty
But she moved out of town
To a place up in the city
That's when things changed
Her life. It got real crazy
Didn't go to work
But I knew she wasn't lazy

She's been drinking
Yeah, drinking that dirty water
Dirty water
She's been drinking
Yeah, drinking that dirty water
Dirty water

She got hooked up with the crowd that came from hell
And one time when I met her. Well, I knew what I could smell
The taste of whiskey was floating through the air
And when I looked into her eyes I could see she wasn't there

She's been drinking
Yeah, drinking that dirty water
Dirty water
She's been drinking
Yeah, drinking that dirty water
Dirty water

She never knew her Dad
Her Mom was always wasted
Her world was full of misery
Where love was never tasted

She dreamed of getting married
Start a family of her own
But life don't come with guarantee
She ended up alone

She's been drinking
Yeah, drinking that dirty water
Dirty water
She's been drinking
Yeah, drinking that dirty water
Dirty water

Now when I heard she'd got a job
As a shady night club dancer
I tried to call her many times
But never got no answer

That was the last time and fills me up with fear
That someone might give me the news
She's no longer here

She's been drinking
Yeah, drinking that dirty water, water
Dirty water
Drinking
Drinking that dirty water
Dirty water
