[00:00:00] Old Dogs Children & The Watermelon Wine - Country Mix Series

[00:00:12] "How old do you think I am " he said

[00:00:15] I said Well I didn't know

[00:00:19] He said "I turned 65 about 11 months ago"

[00:00:26] I was sittin' in Miami pourin'

[00:00:30] Blended whiskey down

[00:00:33] When this old gray black gentleman

[00:00:37] Was cleanin' up the lounge

[00:00:43] There wasn't anyone around

[00:00:47] 'Cept this old man and me

[00:00:51] The guy who ran the bar was

[00:00:54] Watchin' 'Ironsides' on TV

[00:00:59] Uninvited he sat down and opened up his mind

[00:01:06] On old dogs and children and watermelon wine

[00:01:16] "Ever had a drink of watermelon wine " he asked

[00:01:24] He told me all about it

[00:01:27] Though I didn't answer back

[00:01:31] "Ain't but three things in this world

[00:01:34] That's worth a solitary dime

[00:01:39] But old dogs and children

[00:01:43] And watermelon wine"

[00:01:49] He said "Women think about theyselves

[00:01:53] When menfolk ain't around

[00:01:56] And friends are hard to find

[00:01:59] When they discover that you're down"

[00:02:05] He said "I tried it all

[00:02:07] When I was young and in my natural prime

[00:02:11] Now it's old dogs and children

[00:02:15] And watermelon wine"

[00:02:22] He said

[00:02:23] I didn't know

[00:02:23] Old dogs care about you even

[00:02:26] When you make mistakes

[00:02:30] God bless little children while

[00:02:33] They're still too young to hate

[00:02:37] When he moved away I found my pen

[00:02:40] And copied down that line

[00:02:44] 'Bout old dogs and children

[00:02:48] And watermelon wine

[00:03:05] I had to catch a plane up

[00:03:07] To Atlanta that next day

[00:03:12] As I left for my room

[00:03:15] I saw him pickin' up my change

[00:03:19] That night I dreamed in peaceful

[00:03:22] Sleep of shady summertime

[00:03:27] Of old dogs and children

[00:03:30] And watermelon wine
