Hank Williams — Cool Water lyrics

Lyrics

All day I’ve faced the bar — ren waste
With out the taste of wa-ter… cool, wa-ter.
Ole Dan and I, with throats burned dry,
and souls that cry
for wa-ter… cool, clear wa-ter.
The nights are cool and I’m a fool.
Each star’s a pool of wa-ter… cool, clear wa-ter.
And with the dawn I’ll wake and yawn
and car-ry on to wa-ter… cool, clear wa-ter.
The sha — dows sway and seem to say
To- night we pray for wa-ter… cool, clear wa-ter
And way up there He’ll hear our prayer
and show us where
there’s wa-ter… cool, clear wa-ter.
Keep a-movin' Dan. Don’t you listen to him Dan.
He’s the devil, not a man.
He spreads the burnin' sand with wa-ter.
Say Dan can’t you see that big green tree,
where the water’s runnin' free.
It’s waiting there for you and me and wa-ter… cool, clear wa-ter.
Dan’s feet are sore he’s yearnin' for
Just one thing more than wa-ter… cool, clear wa-ter.
Like me I guess he’d like to rest
where there’s no quest
for wa-ter… cool, clear wa-ter.
