Bring Me A Little Water

Bob Dylan

Sylvie is a good ol' 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

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

She brings me milk and honey
Brings me slop and beans
brings me coconuts and candy
brings me turnip greens
