Old Dogs and Children and Waterme - Frankie laine[00:00:00]
How old do you think I am he said[00:00:17]
I said well I didn't know[00:00:20]
He said I turned sixty five about eleven eleven months ago[00:00:23]
I was sittin' in Miami pourin' blended whiskey down[00:00:29]
When this old grey black gentleman was cleanin' up the lounge[00:00:36]
There wasn't anyone around 'cept this old man and me[00:00:48]
The guy who ran the bar was watching Ironsides on TV[00:00:56]
Uninvited he sat down and opened up his mind[00:01:05]
On old dogs and children and watermelon wine[00:01:13]
Ever had a drink of watermelon wine he asked[00:01:24]
He told me all about it though I didn't even answer back[00:01:32]
Ain't but three things in this world that's worth a solitary dime[00:01:41]
But old dogs and children and watermelon wine[00:01:49]
He said[00:01:59]
You know women think about theyselves[00:02:01]
When the menfolk ain't around[00:02:03]
Friends are so [00:02:08]
So hard to find when they discover that you're down[00:02:10]
He said I tried it all when I was young and in my natural prime[00:02:17]
And now it's old dogs and children and watermelon wine[00:02:25]
Old dogs care about you even when you make mistakes[00:02:37]
And God bless little children while they're still too young to hate[00:02:44]
When he moved away I found my pen and copied down that line[00:02:53]
'Bout old dogs and children and watermelon wine[00:03:02]
I had to catch a plane up to Atlanta that next day[00:03:23]
As I left for my room I saw him pickin' up my change[00:03:31]
That night I dreamed in peaceful sleep of shady summertime[00:03:39]
Of old dogs and children and watermelon wine[00:03:47]
