Old Dogs, Children And Watermelon Wine(Complete version originally performed by Tom T. Hall) - Various Artists (欧美群星)[00:00:00]
How old do you think I am he said[00:00:13]
I said well I didn't know[00:00:17]
He said I turned sixty five about eleven months ago[00:00:22]
I was sitting in Miami pouring blended whiskey down[00:00:29]
When this old gray black[00:00:38]
Gentleman was cleaning up the lounge[00:00:41]
There wasn't anyone around[00:00:49]
Accept this old man and me[00:00:54]
The guy who ran the bar[00:00:58]
Was watching Iron sides on TV[00:01:02]
Uninvited he sat down and opened up his mind[00:01:07]
On old dogs and children and watermelon wine[00:01:16]
Ever had a drink of watermelon wine he asked[00:01:27]
He told me all about it[00:01:35]
Though I didn't answer back[00:01:39]
Ain't but three things in this world[00:01:44]
That's worth a solitary dime[00:01:48]
But old dogs and children and watermelon wine[00:01:53]
He said women think about they selves[00:02:04]
When menfolk ain't around[00:02:09]
And friends are hard to find[00:02:12]
When they discover that you're down[00:02:16]
He said I tried it all[00:02:21]
When I was young and in my natural prime[00:02:23]
Now it's old dogs and children[00:02:30]
And watermelon wine[00:02:35]
Old dogs care about you even[00:02:41]
When you make mistakes[00:02:45]
God bless little children[00:02:50]
While they're still too young to hate[00:02:53]
When he moved away I found my pen[00:02:58]
And copied down that line[00:03:02]
Bout old dogs and children[00:03:07]
And watermelon wine[00:03:12]
I had to catch a plane up to Atlanta[00:03:29]
That next day[00:03:35]
As I left for my room[00:03:37]
I saw him picking up my change[00:03:41]
That night I dreamed in peaceful sleep[00:03:46]
Of shady summertime[00:03:51]
Of old dogs and children and watermelon wine[00:03:55]
