Old Dogs Children Watermelon Wine Lyrics

by Tom T. Hall

"how old do you think I am? " he said.

I said, well, I didnt know.

He said, "i turned 65 about 11 months ago."



I was sittin in miami pourin blended whiskey down

When this old gray black gentleman was cleanin up the lounge



There wasnt anyone around cept this old man and me

The guy who ran the bar was watchin "ironsides" on tv

Uninvited, he sat down and opened up his mind

On old dogs and children and watermelon wine



"ever had a drink of watermelon wine? " he asked

He told me all about it, though I didnt answer back

"aint but three things in this world thats worth a solitary dime,

But old dogs and children and watermelon wine."



He said, "women think about they-selves, when menfolk aint around.

And friends are hard to find when they discover that youre down."

He said, "i tried it all when I was young and in my natural prime;

Now its old dogs and children and watermelon wine."



"old dogs care about you even when you make mistakes;

God bless little children while theyre still too young to hate."

When he moved away I found my pen and copied down that line

bout old dogs and children and watermelon wine.



I had to catch a plane up to atlanta that next day

As I left for my room I saw him pickin up my change

That night I dreamed in peaceful sleep of shady summertime

Of old dogs and children and watermelon wine.
