All day I've faced the 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 don't you listen to him Dan

He's a devil not a man

And he spreads the burning sand with water

Dan can you see that big green tree

Where the water's runnin' free

And it's waiting there for you and me

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

Keep a-movin' Dan don't you listen to him Dan

He's a devil not a man

And he spreads the burning sand with water

Dan can you see that big green tree

Where the water's runnin' free

And it's waiting there for you and me water cool clear water
