Lyrics

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 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 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 it in a bucket, Sylvie Bring it in a bucket out Bring it in a bucket, Sylvie Every little once in a while Every little once in a while Took a look ayonder What is that I see? Well, I thought it was little Sylvie Hop, 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 out Bring me little water, Sylvie Every little once in a while Every little once in a while Every Little once In a while
