Clear Blue Water... - a photo on Flickriver

A beautiful and happy arrival at Canyon Lake in the afternoon...

Reminds me of the cowboy song "Cool Water' by Marty Robbins...

Here it is sung on a 78 record by The Sons Of The Pioneers:

This is a better recording on the Barbara Mandrell TV show with Roy Rogers and The Sons of the Pioneers:

And here are the lyrics:
www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/robbins-marty/cool-water-1188...

First verse:
All day I face
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

Second verse:
The nights are cool
and I'm a fool
each star's a pool of water,
cool water
And with the dawn
I wake and yawn
and carry on to water,
cool, clear, water

Chorus:
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,
Dan can you see that big, green tree
where the water's running free
and it's waiting there for you and me,
water, cool, clear, water

Third verse:
The shadows sway and seem to say,
tonight we pray for water,
cool water
And way up there
He'll hear our prayer
and show us where there's water,
cool, clear, water

Chorus:
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
Dan can you see that big, green tree
where the water's running free
and it's waiting there for you and me
water, cool, clear, water
cool, clear, water
