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.
