    All day i faced
    The barren waste
    Without the taste of water
    Cool water
    Old Dan and i
    With throats burned dry
    And souls that cry for water
    Cool clear water
    Dan, can you see that big green tree
    Where the water's running free
    And it's waiting there for you and me
    The night's so cool
    And I'm a fool
    Each star's a pool of water
    Cool water
    But with the dawn
    I wake and yawn and carry on
    Cool water(water)
    Cool clear water(water, water)
    Keep on moving, Dan
    Don't you listen to him, Dan
    He's a devil oughta man
    And he spreads the burning sand
    With water(water)
    Dan, can you see that big green tree
    Where the water's running free
    And it's waiting there for you and me

      His Unequivocaly voluptuous vocubaluary and those vivacious vocals are just too good to let sit and rot in a single 10 minute segment of a criminally underrated collection of Brothers Grimm-style Western stories. The price of creating such a charismatic persona. We have someone who is allegedly legendary for his six-gun slinging and his somatic articulations across the land.
