BEND IN THE WATER

written by Gordon Lightfoot

performed by Harry Manx

Come on Pearl, come on Kitty

If you feel inclined
Down around the bend in the water

Bring your fishin' line

Come on Pearl, I'm rough and ready

Got my fishin' pole
Down around the bend in the water

To the fishin' hole

It's a fine July on a beautiful night
With a heavenly sky and moonlight on the bay

Down around the bend in the water

If you feel inclined
Come on Pearl, come on Kitty

I'm gonna make you mine

All around the world tonight
What a beautiful scene below
Too fine a time to stand in line
I'm gonna take my love to go

It's a fine July and a beautiful way
For a boy and a girl to pass the time of day

Come on Pearl, come on Kitty

If you feel inclined
Down around the bend in the water

Bring your fishin' line

All around the world tonight
What a beautiful sight below
Too fine a time to stand in line
I'm gonna take my love to go

It's a fine July on a beautiful light
With a heavenly sky and moonlight on the bay

Down around the bend in the water

If you feel inclined
Come on Pearl, come on Kitty

Bring your fishin' line

Come on Pearl, I'm rough and ready

Got my fishin' pole
Down around the bend in the water

At the fishin' hole

Down around the bend in the water

At the fishin' hole
