Cool Water Lyrics

Vaughn Monroe Cool Water

VAUGHN MONROE AND HIS ORCHESTRA
VOCALS BY VAUGHN MONROE VM AND THE SONS OF THE PIONEERS
SN *THIS ASTERISK DENOTES WHERE A MEMBER OF THE SONS OF
THE PIONEERS INJECTS THE
WORD 'WATER' HIS OTHER PHRASINGS ARE IN PARENTHESIS IN
THE LYRICS. THIS HAPPENS THROUGHOUT THE SONG.

VM ALL DAY I'VE FACED A BARREN WASTE
WITHOUT THE TASTE OF WATER
SP COOL WATER * .
VM OLD DAN AND I WITH THROATS BURNED DRY
AND SOULS THAT CRY FOR WATER
COOL, CLEAR, WATER.
SP KEEP A MOVIN' DAN * DONTCHA LISTEN
TO HIM DAN *
HE S A DEVIL, * NOT A MAN *
HE SPREADS THE BURNING SAND
WITH WATER. * *
DAN, * CAN'T YOU SEE * THAT BIG
GREEN TREE *
WHERE THE WATER'S * RUNNIN FREE
AND IT'S WAITING * THERE FOR ME AND
YOU? (COOL, CLEAR, *)


VM THE SHADOWS SWAY AND SEEM TO SAY
'TONIGHT WE PRAY FOR WATER'.
VM&SP COOL WATER *
VM THEN WAY UP THERE,
HE'LL HEAR OUR PRAY,

AND SHOW US WHERE,
THERE'S
VM&SP WATER *
SP COOL * CLEAR * WATER *

SP KEEP A MOVIN',DAN,*
DONCHA LISTEN TO HIM DAN,*
HE'S A DEVIL * NOT A MAN *
HE SPREADS THE BURNING SAND WITH WATER * *
DAN,* CAN'T YOU SEE * THAT
BIG, GREEN, TREE *
WHERE THE WATER'S* RUNNING FREE
AND IT'S WAITIN'* THERE FOR ME AND YOU?
(COOL ,CLEAR, *)

ORCHESTRA SWING THE SONG
A TRUMPET IN THE LEAD
THEN A GUITAR INTROS
A WESTERN RHYTHM

VM DAN'S FEET ARE SORE
HE'S YEARNING FOR
JUST ONE THING MORE THAN WATER
VM&SP COOL WATER *
VM LIKE ME I GUESS,
HE'D LIKE TO REST,
WHERE THERE'S NO QUEST FOR WATER
VM&SP COOL,* CLEAR, * WATER (COOL, CLEAR *)
VM&SP WATER!!!!
