Old Dogs, Children And Watermelon Wine

In the style of

Tom T. Hall

Lyrics

how old do you
think i am he said
i said well
i didn't know

he said i turned
sixty-five
about eleven
months ago

i was sittin' in miami
pourin' blended
whiskey down

when this old gray
black gentleman
was cleanin' up
the lounge

there wasn't
anyone around
'cept this old man
and me
the guy who
ran the bar
was watchin'
ironsides on tv

uninvited
he sat down
and opened up
his mind
on old dogs and
children and
watermelon wine

ever had a drink of
watermelon wine
he asked
he told me
all about it
though i didn't
answer back

ain't but three things
in this world
that's worth a
solitary dime
but old dogs and
children and
watermelon wine

he said women think
about theyselves
when menfolk
ain't around

and friends are
hard to find
when they discover
that you're down

he said i tried it all
when i was young and
in my natural prime
now it's old dogs and
children and
watermelon wine

old dogs
care about you
even when you
make mistakes
god bless
little children
while they're still
too young to hate

when he moved away
i found my pen and
copied down that line
'bout old dogs and
children and
watermelon wine

i had to catch a plane
up to atlanta
that next day
as i left for my room
i saw him
pickin' up my change

that night i dreamed
in peaceful sleep of
shady summertime
of old dogs and
children and
watermelon wine
