Cool Water
Sons of the Pioneers 1947
  (Elk 2)   Ernie Kinney
 
two columns

All day I've faced a barren waste
Without the taste of water
Cool water (water)
Old Dan and I with throats burned dry
And souls that cry for water (water)
Cool (water), clear (water), water (water)


CHORUS

*Keep a-movin' Dan, don't ya listen to 'em Dan
He's a devil not a man and he spreads the burnin' sand
With water (water)
Dan can you see that big green tree
Where the water's runnin' free
And it's waitin' there for me and you?

The nights are cool and I'm a fool
Each star's a pool of water
Cool water (water)
But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn
And carry on to water
Cool (water), clear (water), water (water)

The shadows sway and seem to say
Tonight we pray for water
Cool water (water)
And way up there He'll hear our prayer
And show us where there's water
Cool (water), clear (water), water (water)

Dan's feet are sore he's yearning for
Just one thing more than water
Cool water (water)
Like me I guess he'd like to rest
Where there's no quest for water
Cool (water), clear (water), water (water)


TAG

Cool, clear water (cool, clear water)
