[00:00:00] Old Dogs & Children (& Watermelon Wine) - Frankie laine

[00:00:17] How old do you think I am he said

[00:00:20] I said well I didn't know

[00:00:23] He said I turned sixty five about eleven eleven months ago

[00:00:29] I was sittin' in Miami pourin' blended whiskey down

[00:00:36] When this old grey black gentleman was cleanin' up the lounge

[00:00:48] There wasn't anyone around 'cept this old man and me

[00:00:56] The guy who ran the bar was watching Ironsides on TV

[00:01:05] Uninvited he sat down and opened up his mind

[00:01:13] On old dogs and children and watermelon wine

[00:01:24] Ever had a drink of watermelon wine he asked

[00:01:32] He told me all about it though I didn't even answer back

[00:01:41] Ain't but three things in this world that's worth a solitary dime

[00:01:49] But old dogs and children and watermelon wine

[00:01:59] He said

[00:02:01] You know women think about theyselves

[00:02:03] When the menfolk ain't around

[00:02:08] Friends are so

[00:02:10] So hard to find when they discover that you're down

[00:02:17] He said I tried it all when I was young and in my natural prime

[00:02:25] And now it's old dogs and children and watermelon wine

[00:02:37] Old dogs care about you even when you make mistakes

[00:02:44] And God bless little children while they're still too young to hate

[00:02:53] When he moved away I found my pen and copied down that line

[00:03:02] 'Bout old dogs and children and watermelon wine

[00:03:23] I had to catch a plane up to Atlanta that next day

[00:03:31] As I left for my room I saw him pickin' up my change

[00:03:39] That night I dreamed in peaceful sleep of shady summertime

[00:03:47] Of old dogs and children and watermelon wine
