Sylvie Songtext
von Don Cunningham Quartet

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 now
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 lie
She hasn't been to see me
Since the last day in July

Sylvie, Sylvie
I'm so hot and dry
Sylvie, Sylvie
Can′t you see
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 bring me little coffee
She bring me little tea
Well, she bring me nearly every damn thing
But she never brings a jailhouse key

Sylvie, Sylvie
I'm so hot and dry
Sylvie, Sylvie
Can′t you hear
Can't you hear me crying?

Bring it in a bucket, Sylvie
Bring it in a bucket now
Well, it in a bucket, Sylvie
Bring it all the day and night long

Look-a, look-a yonder
What is that I see?
I thought it was little Sylvie
Coming after 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 now
Bring me little water, Sylvie
Every little once in a while
Every little once in a while
Every little once in a while
Every little once in a while
Every little once in a while
