Marty Robbins - Cool Water

All day I've faced a barren waste

Without the taste of water, cool water

Old 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 water

And with the dawn I'll wake and yawn

And carry on to water

Cool, clear, water

Keep a-movin, Dan, dontcha listen to him, Dan

He's a devil, not a man

And he spreads the burning sand with water

Dan, can ya see that big, green tree?

Where the water's runnin' free

And it's waiting there for you and me? Water

Cool, clear, 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

Keep a-movin, Dan, dontcha listen to him, Dan

He's a devil, not a man

And he spreads the burning sand with water

Dan, can ya see that big, green tree?

Where the water's runnin' free

And it's waitin' there for you and me?

Cool, clear, water

Cool, clear, water
