Cool Water

Cool Water - Jimmie Rodgers

All day I face the barren waste

Without the taste of water

Cool water

Old Dan and I with throats burned dry

And souls that cry for water

Cool water

Keep a movin' Dan don't you listen to him Dan

He's a devil not a man

And he spreads the burnin' sand with water

Dan can't you see that big green tree

Where the waters runnin' free

And it's waiting there for you and me

Cool water Water

Cool water

The night are cool and

I'm a fool each stars a pool of water

Cool water

But with the dawn I'll wake

And yawn and carry on to water

Cool water

Keep a movin' Dan don't you listen to him Dan

He's a devil not a man

And he spreads the burnin' sand with water

Dan can't you see that big green tree

Where the waters runnin' free

And it's waiting there for you and me

Cool water Water

Cool water

Dan's feet are sore he's yearning

For just one thing more than water

Cool water

Like me I guess he'd like to rest

Where there's no quest for water

Cool water
