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

Keep
a-movin, Dan, dontcha listen to him, Dan
He's a devil, not a man
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?

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
Water, water, water

Keep a-movin, Dan, dontcha listen to him,
Dan
He's a devil, not a man
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?

Cool, clear,
water
Cool, clear, water
