Williams, Hank - Cool Water Lyrics
All day I've faced the barren waste
With out the taste of water... cool, water.
Ole Dan and I, with throats burned dry,
and souls that cry
for water... cool, clear water.
The nights are cool and I'm a fool.
Each star's a pool of water... cool, clear water.
And with the dawn I'll wake and yawn
and carry on
to water... cool, clear water.
The shadows sway and seem to say
Tonight we pray for water.... cool, clear water
And way up there He'll hear our prayer
and show us where
Keep a-movin' Dan. Don't you listen to him Dan.
He's the devil, not a man.
He spreads the burnin' sand with water.
Say Dan can't you see that big green tree,
where the water's runnin' free.
It's waiting there for you and me
and water.... cool, clear water.
Dan's feet are sore he's yearnin' for
Just one thing more than water.... cool, clear water.
Like me I guess he'd like to rest
where there's no quest
for water... cool, clear water.

Williams, Hank Cool Water Comments
It could be said that Hank Williams covered this song but no one can cover Hank Williams
Increase playback speed by x1.25 sounds a little bit better in my opinion.
Anyone here from Rango?
I always bump this in the summer time in PHX Az
Un chingon with respect 👏👏👏
All day I've faced the barren waste
With out the taste of water... cool, water.
Ole Dan and I, with throats burned dry,
and souls that cry
for water... cool, clear water.
The nights are cool and I'm a fool.
Each star's a pool of water... cool, clear water.
And with the dawn I'll wake and yawn
and carry on
to water... cool, clear water.
The shadows sway and seem to say
Tonight we pray for water.... cool, clear water
And way up there He'll hear our prayer
and show us where
there's water... cool, clear water.
Keep a-movin' Dan. Don't you listen to him Dan.
He's the devil, not a man.
He spreads the burnin' sand with water.
Say Dan can't you see that big green tree,
where the water's runnin' free.
It's waiting there for you and me
and water.... cool, clear water.
Dan's feet are sore he's yearnin' for
Just one thing more than water.... cool, clear water.
Like me I guess he'd like to rest
where there's no quest
for water... cool, clear water.
That cool clear water taste better than liquor after a 12 hour shift of hard labor..Like Gods nectar.
The true voice of a cowboy
The greatest Country artist of all time, bar none
Without doubt the best of a kind
Wish these old tunes would make a come back. I remember when I was a boy, my gram used to listen to this old stuff. Old hank, George Jones, earl scruggs, Lester flatt...all of em bring back memories
Play at 1.25 speed for the ballad of Buster Scruggs version
This is soul music, to me.
TBoBS brought me here
When you realize hank is interpreting the lyrics as spiritual metaphor you realize how very powerful and profound this song is. Hank sr alone with an acoustic and his soul was like a flash of sunlight reflected off gold.
Dont ya listen to him Dan ...
Hank Williams and Marty Robbins are the greatest of all time
I swear I will never understand how so much talent and inspiration could come from such a troubled young man. I have the utmost respect for this man and to this day I listen to his music in awe.
Rango!!!
I've heard many many versions of this Bob Nolan song that he originally wrote as a poem when he was a high school student in Tucson, Arizona. Bob later turned it into a song for the Sons of the Pioneers to sing. BUT! Hank put something into this song that sits it apart from all other versions. Wow!
spirit of west
0:26 he looks a bit like Joseph Goebbels. Awesome song👍🏻
Rip,the best.
American music
Be proud and grateful for it. Its ours
Glenn Johnson WOW!Undubbed.How fantastic is this.Been trying to find this version for years.A million thanks for this upload.
Rango anyone?
I cry EVERY TIME I hear this, this man transcends time, now my grandkids listen to old Hank.
I am dancing to this in my wednesday ritual

Cool, clear, water
Slaps-slaps-slaps-slaps-PUNCHES 😂😂😂
Hank had his beautiful voice and no one can have one just like his
When people talk of the "old legends" I always hear name droppers say "Willie, Merle, Waylon, and Coe". Hank beats the shit out of all of them. He wrote over 2000 songs but died so young. When he covered a song, he made it his. I wish Hank got more recognition for his covering and songwriting ability than just being another "old legend". Hank was a musical genius before his time if you actually look into the unreleased material...not just lost highway, long gone lonesome blues, and setting the woods on fire. His unreleased material that he wrote himself beats the brakes off the so called "legends" today. Cash is the only one who comes close. Although, Coe is an amazing songwriter too
Dylan at his best channeled hank too.
I love this. I wasn’t even a thought when he was around, neither were my parents, but I enjoy this music way more than what my friends listen to (shitty rap music). I’m only 14
Sounds better if you put the play back speed up to 1.25
I like it slow, makes me thirstier for
Cool, clear, water
Way better voice than the Netflix clown folks
👍☺
Beautiful song, and I hate country
Blue Moon had been popular then! The great song's memories live on!
I became the fan of 20th century's songs with it.
Still really hard to beieve he was basically a "youth" here, maybe 27? An old hurting soul temporarily occupying a scrawny fragile body.
another great singer Sadly no longer with us RIP......
Buster Scruggs......
I sing this when I’m in gym class
Hank Williams brought me here although Rango is cute!
rango!!
Yup I remember the movie rango. Good flick. I'm part of the tin star boyz. New country music out of Californyee. That's neither here nor there. So you like you enjoy good music thata a sign of a man. Check out my movie business too. How are you? Life good? With thismusic how could it not be. Am I right? Listen here....let !e tell you so!ethin. I love you let's link
Hank is so pure and unadulterated here. Just an acoustic and his voice, and may I add, a beautiful spirit behind it too!
The years of growing up playing his guitar with Rufus Payne, paid off; he can sure make that Martin guitar talk.
RIP Hank Williams Sr
With due respect to Bob Nolan ,Buster Scruggs and Rango this is the best
Awesome
This version of this song ain't about water...
Bulls eye... sr takes a simple story and takes it into the world of Blake and Milton.... this is artistic interpretation aimed at spiritual metaphor and allegory. Sorry if I’m making this artsy crap, but sr knew what he was doing here. He was the hillbilly frost who understand scripture and symbolic poetry much deeper then most I think realize.
Marty Robins brought me here
Recognize the hat? Buster?
Nice family pictures of Hank and his missus. Hope they had a lot of nice years....
Like that alot.

You can just imagine this song being played as the nuclear bomb drops....
Fallout 5 playlist needs this song
The song does sound like the movie Rango
Yes, it is
He's the best
Just hurts me so to hear these songs he never knew just how great he really was or the impact he had on so many lives.
Rango brought me too....
Mr. Rango
Fuck dango
This should be played in those drought places in Australia.
respest mon idol
MY DADDY SANG THIS ON THE PORCH EVERYNITE WHILE NEIGHBORS AND FIREFLIES WOULD GATHER ROUND.
Williams is a Welsh names and I'd like to think his DNA gave him his singing ability
My welsh DNA doesn't give me spelling ability , names was meant to be name
