Songtexte Bring A Little Water, Sylvie (Skiffle Session EP) - Lonnie Donegan

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
Prove it to me now
Won't you prove it to 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
Well, ev'ry little once, hey do you love me Sylvie,
Every little once in a while
Won′t you bring a little water Sylvie
Yeah! Ev′ry little once in a while
Oh, play it to me Danny, go on
