When Bob Nolan, the Master of Cowboy Americana, was conjuring up this immortal image of an old prospector and Dan the mule (or of a lost and nameless rider and Dan, his horse) (or me and a nameless friend in a strange tavern-less Utah town) struggling in the blistering desert, tortured by mirages and the Devil himself, dreaming of heaven and calling out for water, water, cool water , the water he was seeing in his mind's eye was in the stream behind his grandparents' home in Hatfield Point, New Brunswick, where Nolan (then Nobles) had lived, after moving from Winnipeg, until he turned twelve and left for Boston, Arizona, and immortality. • • http://tinyurl.com/4zgk2qu • • Cool Water • (Bob Nolan) • • All day I've faced a barren waste • Without the taste of water, cool water. • Old Dan and I with throats burnt 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 burning sand with water, • Cool water. • • Dan, can you see that big green tree • Where the water's running free • And it's waiting there for me • And you? • • 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 burning sand with water, • Cool water. • • Dan, can you see that big green tree • Where the water's running free • And it's waiting there for me • And you? • • The shadows sway and seem to say, • Tonight we pray for water, • Cool water. • And 'way up there He'll hear our pray'r • And show us where there's 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 burning sand with water, • Cool water. • • Dan, can you see that big green tree • Where the water's running free • And it's waiting there for me • And you? • • Dan's feet are sore, he's yearning for • Just one thing more than water, • Cool water. • Like me, I guess, he'd like to rest • Where there's no quest 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 burning sand with water, • Cool water. • • Dan, can you see that big green tree • Where the water's running free • And it's waiting there for me • And you?
