Bend Down Low
Bob Marley · Natty Dread
Bend down low,let me tell you what I know
Fisherman row,to reep what you sow now
Tell you all I know,you´ve got to let me go now
All you´ve got to do is
Bend down low,let me tell you what I know
Bend down low,let me tell you what I know
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
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 will play the clown
Bend down low,let me tell you what I know
Bend down low,let me tell you what I know
Bend Down Low

As a staple of the reggae genre, the recording exemplifies Marley's signature blend of acoustic guitar, steady rhythm, and resonant vocals that defined the era's sound. The track has since become an enduring symbol of resistance and unity, frequently cited in discussions of the artist's broader body of work and his lasting impact on global music culture.
