Tom T Hall Miscellaneous Old Dogs And Children And Watermelon Wine (1973) How old do you think I am he said. I said well I didnt know He said I turned sixty-five about eleven month ago I was sitting in Miami pouring blended whisky down When this old gray black gentleman was cleaning up the lounge There wasn't anyone around but this old man and me The guy who tended bar was watching Ironsides on TV Uninvited, he sat down and opened up his mind On old dogs and children and watermelon wine Have you ever had a drink of watermelon wine he asked? He told me all about it though I didn't answer back Ain't but three things in life that's worth a solitary dime But old dogs and children, and watermelon wine He said women think about theyre selves when their men folk aren't around And friends are hard to find when they discover that you're down He said I tried it all when I was young and in my natural prime Now it's old dogs and children and watermelon wine He said old dogs care about you even when you make mistakes God bless little children while they're still too young to hate As he moved away I got my pen and copied down that line Bout old dogs and children and watermelon wine I had to catch a plane up to Atlanta the next day As I left for my room I saw him picking up my change That night I dreamed in peaceful sleep of shady summer times Of old dogs and children and watermelon wine |
