Old Dogs And Children And Watermelon Wine (1973)
How old do you think I am he said. I said well I didn't 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 they're 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
