Bring Me Little Water, Sylvie
Music & Text: Huddie Ledbetter, arr. Moira Smiley
Bring me little water now
Bring me little water, Sylvie
Every little once in a while
Sylvie, Sylvie
Can’t ya hear me crying
Bring me little water now
Bring me little water, Sylvie
Every little once in a while
Sylvie, Sylvie
A little drink of water wouldn’t satisfy me
Bring it in the bucket now
Bring it in the bucket Sylvie
Every little once and a while
Bring me a little water now
Bring me a little water, Sylvie
Every little once in a while
How Can I Keep From Singing?
Music: Gwyneth Walker
Text: Robert W. Lowry
My life flows on in endless song above earth’s lamentation.
I hear the real though distant song that hails a new creation.
Through all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing.
It sounds an echo in my soul, how can I keep from singing?
What though the tempest loudly roars, I hear the truth, it’s living!
What though the darkness round me close, songs in the night it’s giving!
No storm can shake my inmost calm while to that rock I’m clinging.
Since I believe that love abides, how can I keep from singing?
When tyrants tremble when they hear the bells of freedom ringing.
When friends rejoice both far and near, how can I keep from singing?
In prison cell, in dungeon dark, our thoughts to them are winging.
When friends hold courage in their heart, how can I keep from singing?
