Bring Me Little Water, Silvy Lyrics

Lyrics
Bring me little water, Sylvie
Bring me little water now
Bring me little water, Sylvie
Every little once in a while
Bring it in a bucket, Sylvie
Bring it in a bucket now
Bring it in a bucket, Sylvie
Every little once in a while
Sylvie come a-runnin'
Bucket in my hand
I will bring a little water
Fast as I can
Bring me little water, Sylvie
Bring me little water now
Bring me little water, Sylvie
Every little once in a while
Can't you see me coming?
Can't you see me now?
I will bring a little water
Every little once in a while
Every little once in a while
Every little once in a while
Every little once in a while
