Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

"How old do you think I am?" He said
I said "Well I didn't know"
He said "I turned sixtyfive, about eleven months ago"
I Was sitting in Miami pouring blended whiskey down
When this old grey black gentleman was cleaning up the lounge
There wasn't anyone around but this old man and me
The guy who tended bar was watching Ironsides on TV
Uninvited, he sat down and opened up his mind
On old dogs and children, and watermellon wine.

"Have you 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 life thats worth a solidary dime"
"Thats old dogs and children, and watermellon wine."

He said "Women think about them-selves"
"When their menfolk aren't around"
"And friends are hard to find when they discover that your down"
He said "I tried it all when I was young and in my natural prime"
"Now it's old dogs and children and watermellon wine"

He said "old dogs care about you even when you make mistakes"
"God bless little children while they're still to young to hate"
As he moved away I got my pen and copied down that line
On old dogs and children and watermellon wine

I had to catch a plane up to Atlanta the next day
As I left for my room I saw him picking up my change
That night I dreamed in peacful sleep of shadey summer times
Of old dogs and children and watermellon wine.
