Now
this
here's
a
story
'bout
a
man
working
in

Voici
une
histoire
à

d'un
homme
qui
travaille
dans
un
champ
He
bin
workin'

hot,
an'
he's
thirsty
Il

toute
la
journée,
il

et
il
a
soif
Want
a
girl
to
bring
the
water
round
Il
voudrait
qu'une
fille
lui
apporte
de
l'eau
He's
shoutin'
"Hey
Sylvie,
c'mon,
come
on
round
here
with
the
water,
Il
crie
"Hé
Sylvie,
allez,
viens
ici
avec
de
l'eau,
What
you

there".
But
she
ain't
comin'
Qu'est-ce
que
tu
fais
là-bas".
Mais
elle
ne

pas
Man

he's

so
he
make
up
a
little
song,
L'homme
a
très
chaud,
et
il
a
très
soif,
alors
il
invente
une
petite
chanson,
Sing
to
the
woman,
make
her
bring
the
water
round
a
little
faster.
Il
chante
pour
la
femme,
pour
qu'elle
lui
apporte
de
l'eau
un
peu
plus
vite.
Here

way
he
sing...
Voici
comment
il
chante...
