"Don't you listen to him Dan, hes a devil not a man, and he spreads the burning sand with water, cool clear water." does anyone here remember this song?
As Im not sure when it was written but its an oldie but goodie. I realize I'm much older than the majority of you but still this song has been played in some westerns and surely someone or anyone may recognize the song.
The song tells of a cowboy and his horse Dan and how they are
evidently in the desert amd looking for an oasis and seen the deceiving heat that looks l ike water across the sand. The song always intrigued me as I could picture the singer struggling to find water for him and his horse out i n the hot dry desert. He sees a mirage and tells his horse about it.Quote
Dan, don't you see that cool green tree, and water just waiting there for you and ,me?"

Cool Water is the best known song by the legendary Sons of the Pioneers of whom Bob Nolan and Roy Rogers were founders of.

I bet it was written in the 50's cause I remember listening to it when I was a young girl.

I remember that song from when I was younger, but haven't heard it for awhile. Sons of the Pioneers, or Hank Williams
