Johnny Cash - Cool Water

lyrics by Bob Nolan, 1936 most known recording of The sons of the pioneers, 1948 ---------------------- 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 Keep a-movin, Dan, don'tcha 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 me and you? It's water, cool, clear water. The nights are cool and I'm a fool Each star's a pool of water Cool water But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn And carry on to water Cool, clear, water
