LYRICS
Sylvie
by Huddie Ledbetter
Bring me little water, Syvie,
Bring me little water now,
Bring me little water, Sylvie,
Every little once in a while.
Can’t you hear me calling you;
Can’t you hear me now?
I need a little bit of water
Every little once in a while.
Bring it in a bucket, Sylvie,Bring it in a bucket now;
Bring it in a bucket, Sylvie,
Every little once in a while.
Sylvie come a running,Bucket in her hand.
“I will bring you water
Fast as I can.”
Bring me little water, Syvie,
Bring me little water now,
Bring me little water, Sylvie,
Every little once in a while.
