    • Verse 1
    As most 
    of you know, that was 

    one of the songs 
    of old 

    Hugh 

    D. 

    Leadbeater. 

    And here's another 
    one. 

    Leadbelly 
    made up a song 
    out 
    of just 
    what a man 

    might have hollered 
    when he was in the fields, 

    wanting his 
    wife to bring 
    him a glass of water. 

    I 
    heard 

    Lead 

    Belly sing it with his niece 
    and 

    they used to harmonize 
    so 

    pretty on it. 

    He'd 
    be singing, 
    bring me a little 
    water 

    Sylvie, 
    and she'd sing low 

    down, she had 
    a country alto voice. 

    Bring 
    me a little water 

    Sylvie, 
    bring 
    me a water 
    now, 

    Bring 
    me a little water, 

    Sylvie, 
    every 
    little once 
    in a while 

    You 
    have to get that... 

    And 
    then the 
    men all 
    singing... 

    Let's 
    hear all 
    the girls. 

    Bring 
    me a little 
    water, 

    Sylvie 

    Just 
    the 
    girls. 

    Now the 
    verses, 
    I'll 
    give you them 
    as we 
    go along, 

    it is 
    don't 
    you see me 
    coming, 
    don't 

    you see 
    me now, 
    and so 
    on. 

    Bring 
    me a little water, 

    Sylvie. 

    Oh, men, 

    are you going to sing your 
    part? 

    Bring me 
    a 
    water, 

    Sylvie. 


    Oh, 
    girls, they're going 
    to 
    drown you 

    out unless 
    you really 
    sing 
    out. 

    Open 
    up 
    your mouths 
    wide. 

    Here we 
    go. 


    Don't 
    you 
    see me 
    coming, 
    don't 
    you see 
    me 
    coming, 

    don't 
    you see 
    me 
    now, 
    don't 
    you see 
    me 
    coming, 

    Don't 
    you hear 
    me 
    coming, 
    don't 
    you hear 
    me 
    coming, 
    don't 
    you 
    hear 
    me 
    now, 

    don't 
    you 
    hear 
    me 
    coming, 
    every 
    little 
    once 
    in a while. 

    Bring 
    it in a 
    bucket, 

    Sylvie, 
    bring 
    it in 
    a bucket, 

    Sylvie, 
    bring 
    it in 
    a bucket 
    now. 




    Sing 
    that 
    last 
    line, 
    every 
    little 
    once 
    in a 
    while, 

    one more 
    time, 
    every 
    little 

    Once 
    in a 
    while, 
    one more 
    time 
    now 

    Every 
    little 
    once 
    in a 
    while

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
