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
