Sylvie

Sylvie

I'm so hot'n dry

Sylvie

Sylvie

Can't you hear,

Can't you hear me crying?

Bring me little water, Sylvie

Bring me little water out

Bring me little water, Sylvie

Every little once in a while

Sylvie says she loves me

But I believe she lies

She hasn't been to see me

Since the last day in july

Sylvie

Sylvie

I'm so hot'n dry

Sylvie

Sylvie

Can't you hear

Can't you hear me crying

Bring me little water, Sylvie

Bring me little water out

Bring me little water, Sylvie

Every little once in a while

She brought me a little coffee

She brought me a little tea

Well, she brought me nearly every damned thing

But she didn't bring the jailhouse key

Sylvie

Sylvie

I'm so hot'n dry

Sylvie

Sylvie

Little drink of water

Wouldn't statisfy me

Bring me little water, Sylvie

Bring me little water out

Bring me little water, Sylvie

Every little once in a while

Took a look ayonder

What is that I see?

Well I thought it was little Sylvie

Hopprunning there for me

Sylvie

Sylvie

I'm so hot and dry

Sylvie

Sylvie

Can't you hear

Can't you hear me crying?

Bring me little water, Sylvie

Bring me little water out

Bring me little water, Sylvie

Every little once in a while

Every little once in a while

Every

little once

in a while
