Bring Me A Little Water (Unreleased, New Morning) Songtext / Lyric

Sylvie is a good old girl, from Florida so they say

She came up here last April to pass some time away



Now won't you bring me a little water, Sylvie?

Bring me a little water now?

Bring me a little water, Sylvie?

For my tired brow



Sylvie came here Wednesday,

She came this morning by the light of the dawn

She comes up here now nearly all of the time

To see if she can carry on



Now won't you bring me a little water, Sylvie?

Bring me a little water now?

Bring me a little water, Sylvie?

For my tired brow






Sylvie says she loves me,

She says it all of the time

She always gets behind me,

When the hill is too high to climb



Now bring me a little water, Sylvie?

Bring me a little water now?

Bring me a little water, Sylvie?

For my tired brow



She brings beer and honey,

Brings me slop and beans

Brings me coconuts and candy,

Brings me turnip greens



Bring me a little water, Sylvie?

Bring me a little water now?

Bring me a little water, Sylvie?

For my tired brow

For my tired brow

Oh, for my tired brow
