Tom T. Hall - Old Dogs Children And Watermelon Wine слова песни
How old do you think I am he said I said well I didn`t knowHe said I turned sixty five about eleven months agoI was sittin` in Miami pourin` blended whiskey downWhen this old grey black gentleman was cleanin` up the loungeThere wasn`t anyone around `cept this old man and meThe guy who ran the bar was watching Ironsides on TVUninvited he sat down and opened up his mindOn old dogs and children and watermelon wineEver had a drink of watermelon wine he askedHe told me all about it though I didn`t answer backAin`t but three things in this world that`s worth a solitary dimeBut old dogs and children and watermelon wineHe said women think about theyselves when menfolk ain`t aroundAnd friends are hard to find when they discover that you`re downHe said I tried it all when I was young and in my natural primeNow it`s old dogs and children and watermelon wineOld dogs care about you even when you make mistakesGod bless little children while they`re still too young to hateWhen he moved away I found my pen and copied down that line`Bout old dogs and children and watermelon wine[ harmonica ]I had to catch a plane up to Atlanta that next dayAs I left for my room I saw him pickin` up my changeThat night I dreamed in peaceful sleep of shady summertimeOf old dogs and children and watermelon wine
