Lyrics:

How Old Do You Think I Am He Said I Said Well I Didnt Know
he Said I Turned Sixty Five About Eleven Months Ago
i Was Sittin In Miami Pourin Blended Whiskey Down
when This Old Grey Black Gentleman Was Cleanin Up The Lounge
there Wasnt Anyone Around cept This Old Man And Me
the Guy Who Ran The Bar Was Watching Ironsides On Tv
uninvited He Sat Down And 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 Didnt Answer Back
aint But Three Things In This World Thats Worth A Solitary Dime
but Old Dogs And Children And Watermelon Wine
he Said Women Think About Theyselves When Menfolk Aint Around
and Friends Are Hard To Find When They Discover That Youre Down
he Said I Tried It All When I Was Young And In My Natural Prime
now Its Old Dogs And Children And Watermelon Wine
old Dogs Care About You Even When You Make Mistakes
god Bless Little Children While Theyre Still Too Young To Hate
when 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 Day
as I Left 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
