1.      I WAS SITTING IN MIAMI 
C              Am
POURING BLENDED WHISKY DOWN
                   C            
        WHEN THIS OLD GREY BLACK 
    G             D          
GENTLEMAN WAS CLEANING  UP THE 
     G
LOUNGE
           G                       
        THERE WASN'T ANYONE AROUND 
       C               Am
BUT THIS OLD MAN AND  ME
             D                     
        THE GUY WHO TENDED BAR WAS 
           C        D   G
WATCHING IRONSIDES ON  TV
          G                        
        UNINVITED, HE SAT DOWN AND 
  C            Am
OPENED UP HIS MIND
            C             G       
        ON OLD DOGS AND CHILDREN, 
      D          G

2.      HAVE YOU EVER HAD A DRINK OF
 WATERMELLON WINE HE ASKED
        HE TOLD ME ALL ABOUT IT 
THOUGH I DIDN'T ANSWER  BACK
        AIN'T BUT THREE THINGS IN 
LIFE THAT'S WORTH A SOLITARY DIME
        THAT'S OLD DOGS AND 
CHILDREN, AND WATERMELLON  WINE.

3.      HE SAID WOMEN THINK ABOUT 
THEMSELVES WHEN THEIR MENFOLK AREN'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 WATERMELLON  WINE.

4.      HE SAID OLD DOGS CARE ABOUT 
YOU EVEN WHEN YOU MAKE MISTAKES
        GOD BLESS LITTLE CHILDREN 
WHILE THEY'RE STILL TOO YOUNG TO 
HATE
        AS HE MOVED AWAY I GOT MY 
PEN AND COPIED DOWN  THAT LINE
        ON OLD DOGS AND CHILDREN AND
 WATERMELLON WINE.

5.      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 
PEACEFULL SLEEP OF SHADY SUMMER 
TIMES
        OF OLD DOGS AND CHILDREN AND
 WATERMELLON WINE.
