Harry Belafonte - Sylvie Lyrics

Harry Belafonte Lyrics

"Sylvie"

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

Sylvie
Sylvie
