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
Every little once in a while
Sylvie says she love me
But I believe she lies
She hasn't been to see me
Since the last day of 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 now
Bring me little water, Sylvie
Every little once in a while
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 satisfy me
Bring me little bucket, Sylvie
Bring me little bucket now
Bring me little bucket, Sylvie
Every little once in a while
Every little once in a while
Took a look a yonder
What is that I see?
Well, I thought it was little Sylvie
Hopp coming after me
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 now
Bring me little water, Sylvie
Every little once in a while
Every little once in a while
Every
Little once
In a while
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
Every little once in a while
Sylvie says she love me
But I believe she lies
She hasn't been to see me
Since the last day of 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 now
Bring me little water, Sylvie
Every little once in a while
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 satisfy me
Bring me little bucket, Sylvie
Bring me little bucket now
Bring me little bucket, Sylvie
Every little once in a while
Every little once in a while
Took a look a yonder
What is that I see?
Well, I thought it was little Sylvie
Hopp coming after me
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 now
Bring me little water, Sylvie
Every little once in a while
Every little once in a while
Every
Little once
In a while
