Bend Down Low Lyrics

by Bob Marley

Bend down low, let me tell you what I know now;
            Bend down low, let me tell you what I know.
            Oh!  Fisherman row to reap what you sow now;
            Oh, tell you all I know (Oo-oh!),
               you've got to let me go now (Oo-oh!),
            And all you've got to do:
            (Bend down low)  Oh yeah!  Let me tell you what I know;
            Bend down low, let me tell you what I know.  Oh yeah!

            You keep on knockin', but you can't come in.
            I get to understand you been livin' in sin,
            But if you love me, woman, walk right in.
            I've got a notch for your safety-pin,
            But bend down low.

            Keep on knockin', but you can't come in.
            I get to understand you been livin' in sin,
            But walk right in, woman, sit right down.
            I will keep on lovin' you; I play the clown.
            But bend down low, baby, let me tell you what I know;
            Bend down low, let me tell you what I know, yeah!
            Let me tell you, baby!  Let me tell ya -
            Knock on, babe!  Just won't let ya in!
            You been livin' in sin.  Knock on!      /fadeout/
