Old Dogs, Children And Watermelon Wine
By Tom T. Hall
 
GHow old do you think I am he said
CI said well I didnÂ’t know
D7 C GHe said I turned 65 about 11 months ago
C AmI was sitting in Miami pouring blended whisky down
C G Am D7 GWhen this old grey black gentleman was cleaning up the lounge
G7 C AmThere wasn't any one around but this old man and me
D7 C D7 GThe guy who tended bar was watching ironsides on tv
G7 C AmUninvited he sat down and opened up his mind
C G Am D7 GOn old dogs and children and watermelon wine
G7 C AmHave you ever had a drink of watermelon wine he asked
D7 C D7 GHe told me all about it though I didn't answer back
G7 C AmAin't but three things in life that's worth a solitary dime
C G Am D7 GThat's old dogs and children and watermelon wine
G7 C AmHe said women think about themselves when their men-folk aren't around
D7 C D7 GAnd friends are hard to find when they discover that you're down
G7 C AmHe said I tried it all when I was young and in my natural prime
C G Am D7 GNow it's old dogs and children and watermelon wine
G7 C AmHe said old dogs care about you even when you make mistakes
D7 C D7 GGod bless little children while they're still too young to hate
G7 C AmAs he moved away I got my pen and copied down that line
C G Am D7 GOn old dogs and children and watermelon wine
G7 C AmI had to catch a plane up to Atlanta the next day
D7 C D7 GAs I left for my room I saw him picking up my change
G7 C AmThat night I dreamed in peaceful sleep of shady summer times
C G Am D7 GOf old dogs and children and watermelon wine
