Old Dogs, Children and Watermelon Wine - John Prine/Mac Wiseman[00:00:00]

How old do you think I am [00:00:14]

Well I didn't know [00:00:17]

I turned 65 about 11 months ago [00:00:23]

I was sittin' in Miami pouring blended whiskey down[00:00:30]

When this old gray [00:00:40]

Black gentleman was cleaning up the lounge [00:00:41]

There wasn't anyone around except this old man and me [00:00:51]

The guy who ran the bar was watching ironside on tv [00:01:00]

Uninvited he sat down and opened up his mind[00:01:10]

On old dogs and children and watermelon wine [00:01:18]

"Ever had a drink of watermelon wine " he asked [00:01:30]

He told me all about it though I didn't answer back [00:01:39]

"Ain't but three things in this world[00:01:48]

That's worth a solitary dime [00:01:52]

But old dogs and children and watermelon wine "[00:01:57]

He said "women think about themselves [00:02:09]

When men folk ain't around [00:02:13]

And friends are hard to come back[00:02:18]

When they discover that you're down "[00:02:21]

I tried it all[00:02:27]

When I was young and in my natural prime [00:02:28]

Now it's old dogs and children and watermelon wine "[00:02:35]

"Old dogs care about you even when you make mistakes [00:02:59]

God bless little children[00:03:09]

While they're still to young to hate "[00:03:12]

When he moved away I found my pen[00:03:16]

And copied down that line[00:03:21]

About old dogs and children and watermelon wine [00:03:26]

I had to catch a plane up to atlanta that next day [00:03:38]

As I left for my room I saw him picking up my change [00:03:47]

That night I dreamed in peaceful sleep of shady summertime [00:03:56]

Of old dogs and children and watermelon wine [00:04:05]

Of old dogs and children and watermelon wine[00:04:17]
