"Cold Water" by Tom Waits from the album 'Mule Variations'
Lyrics
Well I woke up this morning
With the cold water
With the cold water
With the cold water
Woke up this morning
With the cold water
With the cold water
With the cold
Police at the station
and they don't look friendly
Well they don't look friendly
Well they don't look friendly
Police at the station
and they don't look friendly
They don't look friendly well
they don't
Blind or crippled
Sharp or dull
I'm reading the Bible
by a 40 watt bulb
What price freedom
Dirt is my rug
Well I leep like a baby
with the snakes and the bugs
Well the stores are open
but I ain't got no $
I ain't got no $
Stores are open but I
ain't got no $
ain't got no $
Well I ain't
Found an old dog
and he seems to like me
seems to like me
well he seems to like me
Found an old dog and he
seems to like me
seems to like me
well he seems
Seen them fellows
with the card board signs
scrapin up a little $
to buy a bottle of wine
Pregnant women and
the Vietnam vets I say
beggin on the freeway
Bout as hard as it gets
Well I slept in the graveyard
it was cool and still
cool and still
it was cool and still
Slept in the graveyard
it was cool and still
cool and still and it
was cool
Slept all night in the Cedar grove
I was born to ramble
born to rove
Some men are searchin for the
Holy Grail
but there ain't nothin sweeter
than ridin the rails
I look 47 but I'm 24
Well they shooed me away
from here the time before
Turned there their backs
and they locked their doors
I'm watchin T.V. in
the window of a furniture store
Well I woke up this morning
with the cold water
with the cold water
with the cold water
Woke up this morning
with the cold water
with the cold water
with the cold

This was my dad's ringtone. We all hated it, but he refused to change it. You'd have this nice, calm, quiet afternoon, and then all of a sudden "COLD WAAAATERSSSS". Fucking jumped outta my seat more than once. Rest in peace, dad. Thanks for the music, Tom.
Lmao best dad ever
Great dad..
Nice to have a cool Dad.
Awesome
Man. Rest in peace to your pops. Dad's can be crazy
I’ve heard it said “Tom waits might be the only artist you could hear at a junk yard in the morning and a burlesque show later that night”
It gets sweeter every time.
Yeah. That is 👍
This song is definitely one of my top ten from Tom Waits. I remember hearing the part when he says “I look 47 but I’m … 24” for the first time when I was in my mid-20s, and was thinking, after years of really heavy drink and drugs, that I was lucky to still be rather babyfaced. I just turned 47 a few months ago, and I somehow still look like I’m in my 30s, though I’ve been homeless, and spent more than half of my life drinking heavily and shooting drugs. I’ve been clean for about five-six years now, and frequently see people at the methadone clinic who are half my age but look older than me. I guess I’m just really fortunate in that respect- it’s a hard life, and I feel bad for anyone who’s currently making the same mistakes that I did.
A lot of his songs resonate with me because the lyrics are so relatable, and obviously the musical talent on display is just awesome. I remember someone asking me what type of music Tom Waits does, and while It can be classified (I think) as bluesy rock, or rocky blues, I try to explain it as maybe “Bum Rock”, or “Vagrant Blues”. Most accurately, I think I would classify it as “must listen”- it’s too eclectic and unique to be pigeonholed. Sorry for the long comment- I just hadn’t heard this album in a while, and it’s hard to not just sit back and contemplate life and death while getting swept up in the melody and lyrics. Thanks so much for posting this, and have a great week!
God bless you this Christmas, and yeah, I'll be hanged if I could describe Mr Waits music, but I dig it and it's a great way to clear a room of people with no appreciation for good bluesy rock....love his lead break in this one...
@@grahamtrezise1114 Thank you, and I hope that you and your loved ones have a very Merry Christmas, and a safe, healthy, and prosperous New Year ❤️
Liked your words,Good Luck may your God Bless you.
@@michaellenehan1369 Thank you sir- that was very kind. I wish you the same!
I sympathize with this comment. Im currently 25 and people still ask my age (most people give me 16 years old) when buying cigarrettes lol. I still drink a lot from time to time, have a few benzodiazepines but nowhere near when i was younger and heavily depressed. Thank god my vices didn´t ruin my face structure, just my liver momentarily and my skin. Hoping to leave everything after i turn 30 if i reach that age. Cheers
One of my all-time favorite Tom Waits songs. His music is amazing. I don't have words to express how much I've enjoyed his music over the years. Thank you for your art, Tom.
Tom Waits is that guy that comes along to salvage music and life when you have reached the lowest of lows. Nothing better.
If a hangover at the lowest point of my life had a soundtrack... well this should be it...
He did it on purpose!
This is good as music gets!
Written from the heart.
Underrated gem
indian here ; this song grows on you slowly. anyone in my circle dont appreciate it. such a disconnect. until afterlife i guess.
Most people get stuck on the gravely voice, but there is certainly something abundantly human about this music and the lyrics, I’m glad you found it
MR. WAITS CELEBRATES 71 TODAY. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
What a brilliant man...
Reminded of that old ad "We're not for everybody, but then, we don't try to be..."....I like that when I'm on the jobsite and I'm playing this I'm the only one that gets it....
God damn thank you Tom waits I appreciate your music so much ❤
The beautiful bastard, scoring the soundtrack of my life.
This comment is mine, you musta stole it outta my hip pocket.
Man this song has literally been stuck in my head for weeks. "Cold Watttterrrr"
Man I know you ain’t jokin. What is it about this one…had it get stuck in my head numerous times over the years.
Marc Ribot just comes in and plays the greatest blues guitar solo of all time.
Mashed iron with Spuds! & Some Cold Water! Lovely song Tom thanks I'm still Behind the Mule....
Tom you're a genius! this song is nothing new nor original, but the way you make FEEL AND LIVE things is unique !
This song holds a place in my heart. My dad used to play it for me when I was real young… it has really dark lyrics, but I feel them..
lmao found you
@@gageh2602 Remember when things were cool?
Loved this for many years now; and that fuckin' guitar solo...damn...blood-curdling incredibly good.
Настолько душевно, что я заплакал....👍
As a rail riding hobo, this is in my top 5
Thanks Mr Waits. Greetings from west CV, go Lancers.
Red's Recovery Room was a bar on HWY 12 btwn Santa Rosa & Sebastapol in Nor Cal & Waits mentions it as he lived nearby (& when this joint dropped Red's was still in business).
Tom Waits tells the truth, embellished only by rhythmic and lyrical purpose.
You are 'the man' !! Told us in verse!! One of 700 "they are all good" much love
How charming, thanks a lot ☮️💖
EXCELLENT!
I highly recommend listening to this at 1.5 speed! the og is amazing, the sped up version is perfection
Tried this. Definitely a different vibe. I’ll keep the OG.
Railroad Earth does a good version of this song too. It's got a faster tempo.
Beautiful
I sleep like a baby with the snakes and the bugs
The graveyard is the place to be x
Fodasse LINO !!❤❤🌷🇵🇹🎸🎸
Prenant et intense. Y'a rien à jeter. Merci beaucoup !
Great solo by marc Ribot!
🖤
God bless
Inimitable
Funny song...lol ty.
good morning, everyone!
If there was a bus station at the county dump, the Muzak would be Tom Waits' stuff only.
Love this song, but it does sound like he woke this morning with a koala with a cold
When we gonna hang out Tom?? BoMb W ☠️
This is as down and dirty as it gets.
Blues blues blues
Tom cuts those onions.
COLDWATER !
... seems to like me ... seems ...
Woke up this morning with a kooooala
What's drafting?
The US Military is drafting, And YOU’VE WON A FREE TRIP TO VIETNAM! just sign these papers.
Ahhh, take me home, Mr. Tom, take me home..
O M G
Sure, staying is cool.. but have you tried LEAVING? 😁
Throw it upon me ...
A sing-a- long...🤪
Marry me,Tom!😂
Man I'm good
well i aint
Surprisingly topigraphical. Disturbingly so. Can't judge.
Like showin elevation on a map?
Hydro therapy
It’s very wholesome that I have met people who have heard “Some men are searching for the whole grail, but ain’t nothing sweeter than riding the rails!” And think that Tom is talking about trains
yeh, certainly not coke rails
I think contextually the train image really works...there's nothing on the lyrics or tone that suggests, to me, using drugs. But maybe the guy got busted and spent the night in jail, maybe?....hmmmmmm now it sorta makes sense. But the sleep like a baby with the snakes and bugs part still makes me think of hobos and not drugs.
@@tomsacilowski2554 have you ever met a hobo? Cause that is wholesome of you to say
@lucaalduino, I never met a hobo who looked like they could afford a coke habit.
@@tomsacilowski2554 I will grant you no one is a hobo when they first encounter coke.
If youve ever been homeless...
without the lyrics....he is super hard to understand!
Just keep listening to it I hear something new every time
"Холодная вода"
Вот, я проснулся этим утром от холодной воды,
От холодной воды,
От холодной воды.
Проснулся этим утром от холодной воды,
От холодной воды,
От холода.
Полиция в участке, и они не выглядят дружелюбно,
Вот, они не выглядят дружелюбно,
Вот, они не выглядят дружелюбно.
Полиция в участке, и они не выглядят дружелюбно,
Они не выглядят дружелюбно,
Ну, нет.
Слеп или покалечен, остёр или туповат,
Я читаю Библию возле лампочки в 40-ватт.
Сколько стоит свобода? Земля мягка мне.
Вот, я сплю как младенец со змеями и жуками.
Вот, магазины открыты, но у меня нет денег.
У меня нет денег,
Вот, у меня нет денег.
Магазины открыты, но у меня нет денег.
Вот, у меня нет денег.
Ну, нет.
Подобрал старого пса, и я, вроде, нравлюсь ему,
Вроде, нравлюсь ему,
Вот, я, вроде, нравлюсь ему.
Подобрал старого пса, и я, вроде, нравлюсь ему,
Вроде, нравлюсь ему,
Ну, вроде.
Видел их, собратьев с картонными письменами,
Наскребающих денежек на бутылку вина,
Беременных женщин и ветеранов Вьетнама, уверяю,
Побирающихся на автостраде, силы почти теряя.
Вот, спал я на кладбище, там было прохладно и тихо,
Прохладно и тихо,
Там было прохладно и тихо.
Спал на кладбище, там было прохладно и тихо,
Прохладно и тихо,
И там было прохладно.
Проспал всю ночь в кедровой посадке.
Я рождён был бродяжничать, рождён скитаться,
Некоторые ищут Святой Грааль,
Но нет ничего слаще, чем по рельсам мчать вдаль.
Я выгляжу на 47, но мне 24.
Вот, в прошлый раз отсюда меня попросили,
Повернулись спиной и двери замкнули немедленно.
Я смотрю телевизор в витрине мебельного.
И я проснулся этим утром от холодной воды,
От холодной воды,
От холодной воды.
Проснулся этим утром от холодной воды,
От холодной воды,
От холода.
Вот, я проснулся этим утром от холодной воды,
От холодной воды,
От холодной воды.
Проснулся этим утром от холодной воды,
От холодной воды,
От холода.
