Any group that has Festus, Roy Rogers and Mr. Haney in it, has to kick butt! !!! Back in the 1970's I used to sing this song whdile fighting wild-land fires in the deserts of Arizona & New Mexico.

@damnsuicide I can honestly say you're wrong. I'm 17 and I grew up with this song and music. My father, rest his soul, was kind enough to introduce me to his childhood music at an early age, say about 3 years old or so. I'm forever grateful.

These guys could really harmonize and I have always enjoyed them.

This the original and amazing version of this song . I always loved the Wilf Carter version of this song..His version with it's solitary voice really nails the whole spirit of this song with a more soulful plaintiff feeling. It is all good . What a great song .

Oops sorry Lloyd Perryman - bad memeory and I only met him once when he was very old.

Len Perryman sang the "water" while Bob Nolan who wrote it did the lead - I know my dad subbed for Mr Nolan for a summer and Len was my good friend's uncle.

this is the song that I'd tease my kids with on rides before we'd get some place to get water or soda pop

@docaylsw actually, The Pioneer Trio that later became the Sons of the Pioneers was founded by Leonard Sly, aka Roy Rogers. Roy put an ad in the paper for a male singer who could yodel. Bob Nolan answered the ad and auditioned for the position. Before he was finished with his song, Roy/Leonard told him he had the job. It was a DJ at a radio station where they performed who gave them the name Sons of the Pioneers. "Too young to be pioneers but could be the sons of pioneers," he said.

I am 37 now and remember my dad playing this song along with a lot of other classic cowboy songs. I absolutely love SotP!

"Cool Water" is a song written in 1936 by Bob Nolan, one of the founding members of the SotP. It is about a man and his mule, Dan, and a mirage in the desert. It's always been one of my favorite sons.
