The Wailin' Jennys - "Bring Me Little Water Sylvie"

[jcgoolsby43]

I do appreciate the beautiful harmonies but, It's missing it's intent which would be soul! This song is about a black man slaving away in the fields.This song is actually a negro spiritual. Song Origin; "Lead Belly's Uncle Bob was married to a woman named Sylvie. On hot days when he was ploughing at the bottom of the field a long way from the house, he used to holler to Sylvie to bring the water bucket; and out of this little field holler Lead Belly developed the song and the story."
