BEND IN THE WATER
Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon Lightfoot 
1975
album: Cold On The Shoulder


Come on Pearl, come on Kitty, if you feel inclined
 Down around the bend in the water, bring your fishing line.
 Come on Pearl, I'm rough and ready, got my fishing pole
Down around the bend in the water to the fishing 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 fishing line.

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 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 fishing line
 Come on Pearl, I'm rough and ready, got my fishing pole
Down around the bend in the water to the fishing hole.
