Sylvie
Harry Belafonte


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

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

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 me little water, Sylvie
Bring me little water out
Bring me little water, Sylvie
Every little once in a while

Took a look ayonder
What is that I see?
Well I thought it was little Sylvie
Hopprunning there for 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
