[00:00:00] Old Dogs, Children And Watermelon Wine(Complete version originally performed by Tom T. Hall) - Various Artists (欧美群星)

[00:00:13] How old do you think I am he said

[00:00:17] I said well I didn't know

[00:00:22] He said I turned sixty five about eleven months ago

[00:00:29] I was sitting in Miami pouring blended whiskey down

[00:00:38] When this old gray black

[00:00:41] Gentleman was cleaning up the lounge

[00:00:49] There wasn't anyone around

[00:00:54] Accept this old man and me

[00:00:58] The guy who ran the bar

[00:01:02] Was watching Iron sides on TV

[00:01:07] Uninvited he sat down and opened up his mind

[00:01:16] On old dogs and children and watermelon wine

[00:01:27] Ever had a drink of watermelon wine he asked

[00:01:35] He told me all about it

[00:01:39] Though I didn't answer back

[00:01:44] Ain't but three things in this world

[00:01:48] That's worth a solitary dime

[00:01:53] But old dogs and children and watermelon wine

[00:02:04] He said women think about they selves

[00:02:09] When menfolk ain't around

[00:02:12] And friends are hard to find

[00:02:16] When they discover that you're down

[00:02:21] He said I tried it all

[00:02:23] When I was young and in my natural prime

[00:02:30] Now it's old dogs and children

[00:02:35] And watermelon wine

[00:02:41] Old dogs care about you even

[00:02:45] When you make mistakes

[00:02:50] God bless little children

[00:02:53] While they're still too young to hate

[00:02:58] When he moved away I found my pen

[00:03:02] And copied down that line

[00:03:07] Bout old dogs and children

[00:03:12] And watermelon wine

[00:03:29] I had to catch a plane up to Atlanta

[00:03:35] That next day

[00:03:37] As I left for my room

[00:03:41] I saw him picking up my change

[00:03:46] That night I dreamed in peaceful sleep

[00:03:51] Of shady summertime

[00:03:55] Of old dogs and children and watermelon wine
