[00:14.38]How old do you think I am he said
[00:16.61]
[00:17.99]I said well I didn't know
[00:19.40]
[00:22.09]He said I turned 65 about 11 months ago
[00:27.38]
[00:30.24]I was sittin' in Miami pouring blended whiskey down
[00:38.01]
[00:38.90]When this old gray black gentleman was cleaning up the lounge
[00:47.21]
[00:49.69]There wasn't anyone around except this old man and me
[00:57.61]
[00:59.42]The guy who ran the bar was watching Ironside on TV
[01:06.18]
[01:08.18]Uninvited he sat down and opened up his mind
[01:15.51]
[01:16.15]On old dogs and children and watermelon wine
[01:24.04]
[01:28.10]Ever had a drink of watermelon wine he asked
[01:35.15]
[01:36.76]He told me all about it though I didn't answer back
[01:43.21]
[01:44.74]Ain't but three things in this world that's worth a solitary dime
[01:52.37]
[01:53.49]But old dogs and children and watermelon wine
[02:00.97]
[02:04.22]He said women think about themselves when men-folk ain't around
[02:10.84]
[02:13.05]And friends are hard to find when they discover that you're down
[02:20.75]
[02:22.29]He said I tried it all when I was young and in my natural prime
[02:29.84]
[02:30.55]Now it's old dogs and children and watermelon wine
[02:38.53]
[02:41.93]Old dogs care about you even when you make mistakes
[02:49.76]
[02:50.77]God bless little children while they're still to young to hate
[02:58.03]
[02:59.38]When he moved away I found my pen and copied down that line
[03:06.67]
[03:07.63]About old dogs and children and watermelon wine
[03:15.54]
[03:30.37]I had to catch a plane up to Atlanta that next day
[03:37.30]
[03:38.71]As I left for my room I saw him picking up my change
[03:46.06]
[03:47.18]That night I dreamed in peaceful sleep of shady summertime
[03:55.19]
[03:56.03]Of old dogs and children and watermelon wine
