Old Dogs, Children And Watermelon Wine (Other Song)

GHow old do you think I am he said

CI said well I didn't know

D7He said I turned 65 about C11 months Gago

I was sitting in Miami pouring Cblended whisky Amdown

When this Cold grey Gblack gentleman Amwas cleaning D7up the Glounge

There wasn't any G7one around but this Cold man and Amme

D7The guy who tended bar was watching CironsidesD7on Gtv

Uninvited G7he sat down and Copened up his Ammind

On Cold dogs and Gchildren Amand D7watermelon Gwine

Have you ever had a G7drink of watermelon Cwine he Amasked

D7He told me all about it though I Cdidn't D7answer Gback

Ain't but G7three things in life Cthat's worth a solitary Amdime

That's Cold dogs and Gchildren Amand D7watermelon Gwine

He said women think G7about themselves when Ctheir men-folk aren't Amaround

D7And friends are hard to find when they Cdiscover that D7you're Gdown

He said I G7tried it all when I was Cyoung and in my natural Amprime

Now it's Cold dogs and Gchildren Amand D7watermelon Gwine

He said old dogs care G7about you even Cwhen you make Ammistakes

D7God bless little children while Cthey're still too D7young to Ghate

As he moved G7away I got my pen and Ccopied down that Amline

On old Cdogs and Gchildren Amand D7watermelon Gwine

I had to catch a G7plane up to CAtlanta the next Amday

D7As I left for my room I saw him Cpicking D7up my Gchange

That night I dreamed in G7peaceful sleep of Cshady summer Amtimes

Of old Cdogs and Gchildren Amand D7watermelon Gwine
