Sons of the Pioneers Cool Water

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.

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.

(Chorus)
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 me and you.
Water, cool 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 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 w
here there's no quest for water, Cool water.
