The song "Cool Water" Buster Scruggs sings in the opening of the film was written in 1936 by Bob Nolan of Sons of the Pioneers, and was recorded by them in 1941. It has been sung in various westerns, notably by Roy Rogers and Sons of the Pioneers in Along the Navajo Trail (1945). The song contains the lyrics, "Keep on moving, Dan; don't you listen to em', Dan; he's a devil not a man, and he spreads the burning sands with water," and "Dan, can't you see that big green tree, where the water's runnin' free and it's waitin' there for you and me." These lyrics can also be found in the song "Water" by California punk rock band Falling Idols. The song was recorded in 1982 and released on their self-titled 1984 album.
