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/
