no, that would be perpetual motion, and is not possible. No matter what the fluid. edit. The energy to raise the tube and empty it of air would be huge. But assuming that, yes, you would get an initial surge of water and water vapor that would fill the tube and perhaps squirt some out the end. But once that...
