Sylvie

Harry Belafonte





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
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


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
Ev’ry little once in a while
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

Sylvie, Sylvie, I’m so hot an’ dry
Sylvie, Sylvie
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.

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
Ev’ry little once in a while
Ev’ry little once in a while
