Bend down low,
Let me tell you what I know, yeah
Bend down low,
Let me tell you what I know, yeah
Oh! Fisherman row
You reap what you sow
Tell all I know, 'cause if I
You've got to let me go,
And what you've got to do
(Bend down low)
Let me tell you what I know, yeah!
You bend down low
Let me tell you what I know now.

It's that: you keep on knockin',
But ya can't come in
I get to understand you been livin' in sin,
Walk right in, honey,
Sit right down
I will keep on loving you
And play the clown.
But bend down low, ah,
That is what I know, yeah.
Now, bend down low
Let me tell ya
Let me tell you what I know now

(Bend down low)
Said, you keep on knocking,
But ya 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, oh-oh!
Let me tell you what I know
Bend down low
