Old Dogs, Childen and Watermellon Wine - Tex Williams[00:00:00]
How old do you think i am he said[00:00:14]
I said well i didn't know[00:00:17]
He said i turned sixty five[00:00:21]
About eleven months ago[00:00:25]
I was sitting in miami pouring[00:00:29]
Blended whiskey down[00:00:34]
When this old gray black[00:00:38]
Gentleman was cleaning up the lounge[00:00:41]
There wasn't anyone around[00:00:47]
Accept this old man and me[00:00:51]
The guy who ran the bar was watching[00:00:55]
Iron sides on tv[00:01:00]
Uninvited he sat down[00:01:04]
And opened up his mind[00:01:08]
On old dogs and children[00:01:13]
And watermelon wine[00:01:18]
Ever had a drink of watermelon wine he asked[00:01:24]
He told me all about it though[00:01:33]
I didn't answer back[00:01:36]
Ain't but three things in this world[00:01:41]
That's worth a solitary dime[00:01:45]
But old dogs and children[00:01:50]
And watermelon wine[00:01:54]
He said women think about they selves[00:02:02]
When menfolk ain't around[00:02:05]
And friends are hard to find[00:02:09]
When they discover that you're down[00:02:13]
He said i tried it all[00:02:19]
When i was young and in my natural prime[00:02:21]
Now it's old dogs and children[00:02:26]
And watermelon wine[00:02:31]
She saidOld dogs care about you even[00:02:37]
When you make mistakes[00:02:42]
God bless little children[00:02:46]
While they're still too young to hate[00:02:50]
When he moved away i found my pen[00:02:55]
And copied down that line[00:02:59]
Bout old dogs and children[00:03:03]
And watermelon wine[00:03:08]
I had to catch a plane up to atlanta that next day[00:03:25]
As i left for my room[00:03:34]
I saw him picking up my change[00:03:38]
That night i dreamed in peaceful sleep[00:03:43]
Of shady summertime[00:03:47]
Of old dogs and children[00:03:51]
And watermelon wine[00:03:55]
