Sylvie is a good old 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

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 says she loves me
She says it all of the time
She always gets behind me
When the hill is too high to climb

Now bring me a little water, Sylvie?
Bring me a little water now?
Bring me a little water, Sylvie?
For my tired brow

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

Bring me a little water, Sylvie?
Bring me a little water now?
Bring me a little water, Sylvie?
For my tired brow
For my tired brow
Oh, for my tired brow

Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan (born Robert Zimmerman May 24, 1941), is an American singer-songwriter, writer, and artist who has influenced popular music and culture for more than five decades. Dylan has especially played a critical role in the American folk music revival.

Dylan’s songs are built from myriad political, social, philosophical and literary influences. Many of his anti-war and civil-rights-influenced songs set social unrest, as journalists widely named him the “spokesman for his generation” in the 1960s.

The musician has a signature change in voice and style in many different albums of his throughout the decades. He has notably explored and experimented with the genres of folk, rap, blues, and rock.
