Story behind the song
It's a love song.
Lyrics
Dirty Girl
[v1]
My baby's in the garden,
rolling 'round the mud,
and it makes me smile to see the way,
the dirt runs through her blood.
She skips barefoot through the meadows,
pickin' flowers as she goes,
you'll never find a girl like her,
without dirt between her toes.
[c]
She's a dirty girl,
oh my baby's a dirty girl,
she's a dirty girl,
my baby's a dirty girl.
[v2]
My baby takes her shovel,
and she turns an earthen mound,
draws a line in the dirt,
puts seed into the ground.
Then she covers them with soil,
and she waters them with love,
I can see her dirty face shine out,
to the heavens up above,
[c]
She's a dirty girl,
oh my baby's a dirty girl,
she's a dirty girl,
my baby's a dirty girl.
she's a dirty girl (oh yeah!)
my baby's a dirty girl,
she's a dirty girl (all right!),
my baby's a dirty girl.
[musical break for Ivan]
[v3]
My baby leaves her coveralls,
in a pile outside the door,
when she slips inside to find me there,
she won't be needin' them no more.
She gives me a dirty look,
grabs me with a dirty hand,
oh she's a dirty girl alright,
and she's in love with a dirty man.
[c]
She's a dirty girl,
oh my baby's a dirty girl,
she's a dirty girl,
my baby's a dirty girl.
She's a dirty girl (oh yeah!)
my baby's a dirty girl,
she's a dirty girl (all right!),
my baby's a dirty girl.
[outtro]
She's a dirty girl,
my baby's a dirty girl,
