Cool Water

All day I've faced the barren waste

With out the taste of water cool, water.

Ole Dan and I, with throats burned dry,

and souls that cry

for water cool, clear water

The nights are cool and I'm a fool

Each star's a pool of water cool, clear water

And with the dawn I'll wake and yawn

and carry on

to water cool, clear water

The shadows sway and seem to say

Tonight we pray for water cool, clear water

And way up there He'll hear our prayer

and show us where

there's water cool, clear water

Keep amovin' Dan Don't you listen to him Dan

He's the devil, not a man

He spreads the burnin' sand with water

Say Dan can't you see that big green tree,

where the water's runnin' free

It's waiting there for you and me

and water cool, clear water

Dan's feet are sore he's yearnin' for

Just one thing more than water cool, clear water

Like me I guess he'd like to rest

where there's no quest

for water cool, clear water.
