Cool Water - The Rooftop Singers

All day I face the barren waste Without a taste of water Cool water, water Old Dan and I Our throats slate dry Our spirits cry out for water, water Cool, clear water Keep on movin', Dan Some devils had a plan Buried poison in the sand Don't drink it man It's in the water Cool, clear water In my mind I see a big green tree And a river flowin' free Waitin' up ahead For you and me (water) Cool, clear water The nights are cool and I'm a fool Each star is a pool of water Cool water, water But come the dawn We carry on We won't last long without water, water Cool, clear water Keep on movin', Dan We're still in no-man's land Dry bones and sand People never planned here for water Cool clear water In my mind I see a big green tree And a river flowin' free Waiting up ahead for you and me (water) Cool, clear water The shadows sway, they seem to say Tonight we pray for water Cool water, water And way up there If you care Please show us where there's good water, water Cool, clear water (water) Cool, clear water Cool, clear water Cool, clear water Cool, clear water

All day I've faced a 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 Keep a-movin', Dan Don't you listen to him, Dan He's a devil not a man And he spreads the burnin' sand with water Dan, can you see that big green tree Where the water's runnin' free And it's waitin' there for me and you It's water Cool, clear water The nights are cool and I'm a fool Each star's a pool of water Cool water But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn And carry on to water Cool, clear water Keep a-movin', Dan Don't you listen to him, Dan He's a devil, not a man And he spreads the burnin' sand with water Dan, can you see that big green tree Where the water's runnin' free And it's waitin' there for me and you It's water Cool, clear water Cool, clear water Cool, clear water

Spoken: I've got an old Tom Cat And when he steps out (1) All the other cats in the neighborhood They begin to shout There goes a ring tail Tom Struttin' round the town (2) And if you got your heat turned up You better turn your damper down Ringtail Tom is a star He's a boss around this town He don't allow no other Tom Cats Come pussy footin' around Ringtail Tom on the fence Little pussy cat on the ground Ringtail Tom com-a-off-a that fence They start rousin around Ringtail Tom is a star He's a natural born crack shot He finds a new target every night And he sure does practice alot (Instrumental) Repeat 1 Repeat 2 And if you got your heat turned up You better turn your damper down

Dip your fingers in the water Come and cool my tongue 'Cause I'm tormented in the flame Dip your fingers in the water Come and cool my tongue 'Cause I'm tormented in the flame I'm tormented (one drop of water) I'm tormented (some) Dip your fingers in the water Come and cool my tongue 'Cause I'm tormented in the flame Who's that comin' up yonder? Carrying such a heavy load Dip your fingers in the water Come and cool my tongue 'Cause I'm tormented in the flame Must be brother Lazarus Walking in the middle of the road Dip your fingers in the water Come and cool my tongue 'Cause I'm tormented in the flame He saw a fire burning Burning on in the night Dip your fingers in the water Come and cool my tongue 'Cause I'm tormented in the flame Dropped his burden and he straightened up Headed on toward the light Dip your fingers in the water Come and cool my tongue 'Cause I'm tormented in the flame I'm tormented (one drop of water) I'm tormented (some) Dip your fingers in the water Come and cool my tongue 'Cause I'm tormented in the flame Who's that weary traveller walking on alone? Dip your fingers in the water Come and cool my tongue 'Cause I'm tormented in the flame Must be a bored builder, roam A looking for a home Dip your fingers in the water Come and cool my tongue 'Cause I'm tormented in the flame He came across the ocean In 70 days or more Dip your fingers in the water Come and cool my tongue 'Cause I'm tormented in the flame Lookin' to build a happy land Free from fear and war Dip your fingers in the water Come and cool my tongue 'Cause I'm tormented in the flame I'm tormented (one drop of water) I'm tormented (some) Dip your fingers in the water Come and cool my tongue 'Cause I'm tormented in the flame Dip your fingers in the water Come and cool my tongue 'Cause I'm tormented in the flame Dip your fingers in the water Come and cool my tongue 'Cause I'm tormented in the- Flame
