Bring A Little Water, Sylvie

BRING A LITTLE WATER, SYLVIE
 (Huddie Ledbetter / Lonnie Donegan)
 (Spoken)
 Now this here's a story 'bout a man working in a field
 He bin workin' all day, he getting' hot, an' he's thirsty
 Want a girl to bring the water round
 He's shoutin' "Hey Sylvie, c'mon, come on round here with the water,
 what you doin' there". But she ain't comin'
 Man getting' hot, an' boy he's thirsty, so he make up a little song,
 sing to the woman, make her bring the water round a little faster.
 Here the way he sing...
 Won't you bring a little water Sylvie
 Won't you bring a little water now
 Won't you bring a little water Sylvie
 Lord, ev'ry little once in a while
 Well do you love me Sylvie
 Oh do you love me now
 Oh do you love me Sylvie
 Yeah! ev'ry little once in a while
 Well bring a little water Sylvie
 Won't you bring a little water now
 Won't you bring a little water Sylvie
 Lord, ev'ry little once in a while
 Won't you bring a little water Sylvie
 Won't you bring a little water now
 Won't you bring a little water Sylvie
 Lord, ev'ry little once in a while
 C'mon an' prove it to me Sylvie
