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