How old do you think I am he asked and I said well I didn't know

He said I turned sixty five about eleven months ago

I was sittin' in Miami pouring blended whiskey down

When this old grey black gentleman was cleanin' up the lounge



There wasn't anyone around cept this old man and me

The guy who ran the bar was watching Ironsides on TV

Uninvited he sat down and he opened up his mind

On old dogs and children and watermelon wine



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 this ol' world worth a solitary dime

But old dogs and children and watermelon wine



He said women think about theyselves when the menfolk ain'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



Old dogs care about you even when you make mistakes

And God bless little children while they're still too young to hate

When he moved away I found my pen and I 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 was leavin' for my room I saw him pickin' up my change

That night I dreamed in peaceful sleep of shady summertime

Of old dogs and children and watermelon wine
