Old Dogs Children & The Watermelon Wine - Country Mix Series[00:00:00]

"How old do you think I am " he said[00:00:12]

I said Well I didn't know[00:00:15]

He said "I turned 65 about 11 months ago"[00:00:19]

I was sittin' in Miami pourin'[00:00:26]

Blended whiskey down[00:00:30]

When this old gray black gentleman[00:00:33]

Was cleanin' up the lounge[00:00:37]

There wasn't anyone around[00:00:43]

'Cept this old man and me[00:00:47]

The guy who ran the bar was[00:00:51]

Watchin' 'Ironsides' on TV[00:00:54]

Uninvited he sat down and opened up his mind[00:00:59]

On old dogs and children and watermelon wine[00:01:06]

"Ever had a drink of watermelon wine " he asked[00:01:16]

He told me all about it [00:01:24]

Though I didn't answer back[00:01:27]

"Ain't but three things in this world[00:01:31]

That's worth a solitary dime[00:01:34]

But old dogs and children[00:01:39]

And watermelon wine"[00:01:43]

He said "Women think about theyselves [00:01:49]

When menfolk ain't around[00:01:53]

And friends are hard to find[00:01:56]

When they discover that you're down"[00:01:59]

He said "I tried it all[00:02:05]

When I was young and in my natural prime[00:02:07]

Now it's old dogs and children[00:02:11]

And watermelon wine"[00:02:15]

He said[00:02:22]

I didn't know[00:02:23]

Old dogs care about you even[00:02:23]

When you make mistakes[00:02:26]

God bless little children while[00:02:30]

They're still too young to hate[00:02:33]

When he moved away I found my pen[00:02:37]

And copied down that line[00:02:40]

'Bout old dogs and children[00:02:44]

And watermelon wine[00:02:48]

I had to catch a plane up[00:03:05]

To Atlanta that next day[00:03:07]

As I left for my room[00:03:12]

I saw him pickin' up my change[00:03:15]

That night I dreamed in peaceful[00:03:19]

Sleep of shady summertime[00:03:22]

Of old dogs and children[00:03:27]

And watermelon wine[00:03:30]
