Cool Water

Cool Water - Hank Snow/The Jordanaires

All day I've faced a barren waste

Without the taste of water cool water

Old Dan and I with throats burnt 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 water

And with the dawn I'll wake and

Yawn and carry on to water cool clear water

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

He's a devil not a man and

He spreads the burning sand with water

Dan can you see that big green tree

Where the water's running free

And it's waiting there for you

And me water

The shadows sway and seem to say tonight

We pray for water cool water

And way up there he'll hear our prayer

And show us where there's water cool clear water

Dan's feet are sore he's yearnin' for just one thing

More than water cool water

Like me I guess he'd like to rest

Where there's no quest of water cool clear water

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

He's a devil not a man and

He spreads the burning sand with water

Dan can you see that big green tree

Where the water's running free

And it's waiting there for you and

Me water cool clear water
