Cool Water
Frankie Laine Lyrics
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 cha listen to him, Dan
He's a devil, not a man
He spreads the burning sand with water
Dan, can ya see that big, green tree
And it's waitin' 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
Water, water, water
Keep a movin', Dan, don't cha listen to him, Dan
He's a devil, not a man
He spreads the burning sand with water
Dan, can ya see that big, green tree
Where the water's runnin' free
And it's waitin' there for me and you
Cool, clear, water
Cool, clear, water

Laine has had worldwide sales of over 250 million disks, and has earned 21 gold records. Originally a rhythm and blues influenced jazz singer, his energetic, passionate style has led some to consider him the first of the blue-eyed soul singers. Eventually he expanded to such varied genres as popular standards, gospel, folk, country, rock 'n' roll, and a hard-driving (and slightly campy) form of western/Americana.
... Throughout the 1950s, Laine enjoyed a second career singing the title songs of Hollywood films and television shows, including: Gunfight At OK Corral, 3:10 To Yuma, Bullwhip, and Rawhide. His rendition of the title song for Mel Brooks' 1974 movie Blazing Saddles won an Oscar nomination for Best Song, and his recording of "Rawhide" for the television series of the same name has become a classic of the genre.

No one will has or will ever sing like Frankie Laine. He has the most powerful & dramatic voice which makes his songs so full of energy whatever he sings. However he can also turn his great voice into a slow heart warming ballad. LEGEND

My older brother bought the original 78 rpm record in 1955 before being posted overseas with the army, but I had no record player on which to play it ( I was 11 and my parents couldn't afford one) but they did buy a gramophone in 1959 and I played this record to death, and now I'm 72 years old and thanks to Youtube can listen to it anytime.

On 78! I inherited Blue Moon by a bloke called Elvis.
If you are from my side of Manchester that might mean something more.

My older brother did likewise, Ian.

Let's face it, Frankie could cover almost any type of song with his unique style.

Epic song from a bygone era sung magnificently by the inimitable Frankie Laine. Wonderful captivating song.

This man was made to sing this stuff. He has a conviction in his voice, and he sings like he has lived every line.
