All day I've faced a barren waste
Without a 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, doncha listen to him, Dan
He's a devil not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water
Oh, Dan, can't you see that great green tree
Where the water's running free
Cool water
Just one thing more than water
Cool water
Like me, I guess, he'd like to rest
Where there's no quest for water
Cool, clear water
The shadows sway and seem to say
Tonight we pray for water
Cool water
And way up there, hear, hear out prayer
And show us where
There's 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
Oh, Dan, can't you see that big green tree
Where the water's running free
And it's waitin' there for me and you
Waiting for you and me
