Verse 1
a man was out working in his fields,
singing this song for his sweetie.
Bring me little water, Sylvie,
D
G
every little once in a while.
And though he couldn't see her,
Sylvie was walking across the field.
Can't you see me coming?
D
G
Every little once in a while.
Well, he couldn't see her,
so he sang out again.
Bring me a water, Sylvie.
D
G
Every little once in a while.
Well, he still couldn't see her or hear her,
so he sang out,
Bring me a water, Sylvie,
D
G
Every little once in a while
Can't you hear me coming?
D
G
Every little once in a while
Gm
G
But when she got up to him, she said,
You know, I got better things to do
than be carrying water back
and forth to you all day.
So he just smiled and he said,
Put it in a bucket, Sylvie
D
G
Every little once in a while
Well, Sylvie smiled and walked away.
She didn't really want to put
it in a bucket
because she couldn't come
out so often to see him then.
All summer long,
you could hear the voices singing.
Bring me little water, Sylvie.
D
G
Every little once in a while.
Well, this went on for years and years,
and all through the town
you could hear people singing.
Bring me little water, Sylvie,
D
G
every little once in a while.
Bring me a water, Sylvie
D
G
Every little once in a while
Bring me a little water, Sylvie
D
