(1955)
Water, water, water
Cool, clear water
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, clear water
Water
Keep a-movin, Dan
Don’t you listen to him, Dan
He’s a devil, not a man
He spreads the burning 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
Water, cool, clear water
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
Water
Water, water, water
Water
Keep a-movin, Dan
Don’t you listen to him, Dan
He’s a devil, not a man
He spreads the burning 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
Cool, water, clear, water, water, water
Cool, water, clear, water, water
Cool, clear water
