Lonnie Donegan Lonnie Donegan - Bring A Little Water, Silvie Lyrics

(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 Silvie, 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 Silvie
Won't you bring a little water now
Won't you bring a little water Silvie
Lord, ev'ry little once in a while

Well do you love me Silvie
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 Silvie
Won't you bring a little water now
Won't you bring a little water Silvie
Lord, ev'ry little once in a while

Won't you bring a little water Silvie
Won't you bring a little water now
Won't you bring a little water Silvie
Lord, ev'ry little once in a while

C'mon an' prove it to me Silvie
Prove it to me now
Won't you prove it to me Silvie
Yeah! ev'ry little once in a while

Well bring a little water Silvie
Won't you bring a little water now
Won't you bring a little water Silvie
Lord, ev'ry little once in a while

Well, ev'ry little once, hey do you love me Silvie,
Every little once in a while
Won't you bring a little water Silvie
Yeah! Ev'ry little once in a while

Oh, play it to me Danny, go on

(Musical Break with various "Yeahs" from Lonnie)

Won't you bring a little water Silvie
Won't you bring a little water now
Won't you bring a little water Silvie
Yeah! ev'ry little once in a while

Won't you bring a little water
Won't you bring a little water
Won't you bring a little water now
Won't you bring a little water Silvie
Yeah! Ev'ry little once in a while

Oh, do you love me Silvie
Well, do you love me now
Do you love me Silvie
Yeah! Ev'ry little once in a while

Well bring a little water Silvie
Well you bring a little water now
Yeah! Bring a little water Silvie
Lord, ev'ry little once in a while

Bring a little water Silvie
Won't you bring a little water now
Won't you bring a little water Silvie
Ev'ry little once in a while
