Sylvie is a good old girl, from Florida so they say She came up here last April to pass some time away Now won't you bring me a little water, Sylvie? Bring me a little water now? Bring me a little water, Sylvie? For my tired brow Sylvie came here Wednesday, She came this morning by the light of the dawn She comes up here now nearly all of the time To see if she can carry on Now won't you bring me a little water, Sylvie? Bring me a little water now? Bring me a little water, Sylvie? For my tired brow Sylvie says she loves me, She says it all of the time She always gets behind me, When the hill is too high to climb Now bring me a little water, Sylvie? Bring me a little water now? Bring me a little water, Sylvie? For my tired brow She brings beer and honey, Brings me slop and beans Brings me coconuts and candy, Brings me turnip greens Bring me a little water, Sylvie? Bring me a little water now? Bring me a little water, Sylvie? For my tired brow For my tired brow Oh, for my tired brow
