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