 D  
How old do you think I am he said 
 G  
I said well I didn’t know 
 A7                         G         D  
He said I turned 65 about 11 months ago 
  
                               G              Em  
I was sitting in Miami pouring blended whisky down 
          G        D               Em           A7     D  
When this old grey black gentleman was cleaning up the lounge 
                 D7                  G           Em  
There wasn't any one around but this old man and me 
 A7                                  G        A7  D  
The guy who tended bar was watching ironsides on tv 
          D7              G             Em  
Uninvited he sat down and opened up his mind 
   G            D         Em  A7         D  
On old dogs and children  and watermelon wine 
  
                    D7                  G       Em  
Have you ever had a drink of watermelon wine he asked 
 A7                               G      A7     D  
He told me all about it though I didn't answer back 
          D7                   G                       Em  
Ain't but three things in life that's worth a solitary dime 
       G            D         Em  A7         D  
That's old dogs and children  and watermelon wine 
  
                    D7               
He said women think about themselves 
     G                     Em  
when their men-folk aren't around 
 A7                                     G             A7     D  
And friends are hard to find when they discover that you're down 
          D7                      G                       Em  
He said I tried it all when I was young and in my natural prime 
         G            D         Em  A7         D  
Now it's old dogs and children  and watermelon wine 
  
                      D7             G             Em  
He said old dogs care about you even when you make mistakes 
 A7                              G                 A7       D  
God bless little children while they're still too young to hate 
            D7                    G                Em  
As he moved away I got my pen and copied down that line 
       G        D         Em  A7         D  
On old dogs and children  and watermelon wine 
  
                 D7          G                Em  
I had to catch a plane up to Atlanta the next day 
 A7                              G       A7    D  
As I left for my room I saw him picking up my change 
                        D7                G            Em  
That night I dreamed in peaceful sleep of shady summer times 
       G        D         Em  A7         D  
Of old dogs and children  and watermelon wine
