All day I've faced the barren waste, 
Without the taste of water: 
Cool water. (Water.) 
Old Dan and I, with throats burned dry, 
An' souls that cry for water: (Water.) 
Cool, (Water.) 
Clear, (Water.) 
Water. (Water.) 

Keep a-movin, Dan, 
Don't you listen to him, Dan, 
He's the devil, not a man: 
Spreads the burning sand with water. (Water.) 
Dan, can you see that big, green tree, (Water.) 
Where the water's runnin' free? (Water.) 
It's waitin' there for me and you? (Water.) 

The nights are cool, 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.) 
Water, (Water.) 

Keep a-movin, Dan, 
Don't you listen to him, Dan, 
He's the devil, not a man: 
Spreads the burning sand with water. (Water.) 
Dan, can you see that big, green tree, (Water.) 
Where the water's runnin' free? (Water.) 
Waitin' there for me and you? 

Cool, (Water.) 
Clear, (Water.) 
Water. (Water.) 

Cool, (Water.) 
Clear, (Water.) 
Water. (Cool, clear, water.)
