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.
