Sylvie Songtext / Lyric

Sylvie, Sylvie, I’m so hot an’ dry
Sylvie, Sylvie, can’t you hear
Can’t you hear me crying

Bring me a little water Sylvie
Bring me a little water now
Bring me a little water Sylvie
Ev’ry little once in a while

Sylvie say she loves me
But I believe she lie
She hasn’t been to see me
Since the last day of July

She brought me a little coffee
She brought me a little tea
Well she brought my nearly ev’ry damn thing
But she didn’t bring the jailhouse key

A little drink of water wouldn’t satisfy me

Bring it in a bucket Sylvie
Bring it in a bucket now
Bring it in a bucket Sylvie
Ev’ry little once in a while
Ev’ry little once in a while

Look a look a yonder
What is that I see
Well I thought is was little Sylvie
A coming after me.
