(Bob Nolan)
All day I've faced a barren waste
Without the taste of water, cool water
Old Dan and I with throats burnt 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 running 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, cool 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 running free
And it's waitin' there for me and you?
Dan's feet are sore he's yearning for
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.
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 running free
And it's waitin' there for me and you?...
