Hall, Tom T. - Old Dogs, Children & Watermelon Wine Lyrics

An American Treasure

Been forty years or more since I heard this song on my 8-track . THANK YOU for posting .

The good old Storyteller

One of my favorites from "the Story teller"

How in the hell do you get better tan that?

Notice how Ken Burn's smartly ended his country music history BEFORE it ever got to the Taylor Swift era? Smart guy. Real country music isn't made much anymore.

I love it.

I like beer.

That's an entertainer

One of the Great Storytellers from a great generation !

🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏

When men were made of iron, and ships were made of wood...Bob Feller

how could you be so bereft as to listen to this and thumbs down this? Wow.

❤️this man

Awww that's given me the chills! Sublime

Mr. Hall, you are still amazing! Your music has always spoken to me and gives me memories of my Dad and my Grandpa who had a farm in Missouri. God bless you sir and thank you so much for being a big part of the soundtrack of my life! And THIS is Country Music... not the new stuff they sing now. The new stuff doesn't teach you lessons or touch your heart like this song! There is also no reference of sex, or drunkenness, drugs, etc. Why can't we go back to songs and artists like this that teaches us about life, we can be proud of and even children can listen to. God Bless you Mr. Hall!

Classic

Not that anyone cares but Tom T. Hall was my first favorite country singer back in the late 60's and early 70's. I consider him a living legend. On Long Island, I heard his songs on a country music station out of NYC- what was it, WHN? I always enjoyed his snippets of Kentucky life, he caught it all, what a songwriter.

This must be his last performance. I never heard him live before. He was-and is- a great one!

Great Song

Finally makes sense life is old dogs children and water melon wine

the coolest dude in history of country music

what an amazing man

Ken Burns Never mentions Tom T Hall.
Either I missed that part of the film twice that I watched it or Ken Burns missed the nail.

A performer of this caliber doesn't have to twerk, rub his rear end on people, grab their crotch or jump around acting like a fool. They stand and sing with such talent and heartfelt emotion that they bring up memories from your past, the good memories along with the bad. Not everyone has the ability to appreciate their talent certainly not young people of today listening to garbage like rap. Too bad. Thanks Tom T.

What is timeless ???? Made me think a little.... Well quite a lot really...... As 65 years have well gone in my case and by God that makes you think does it not ????????????


Would like to be remembered by a song like this as i look at my Grand child Corny i know but it really did hit home a hard ball for me !!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope She listens to this one day


and recalls her old Grandpa with a soft heart !!!!!!!!!!!!

I love to sing this prose at Karaoke with all my heart and soul. Such words are what we all should set our sights on an strive for in this roller coaster we call life.💓✌️🌹

The yahoos that dislike this video don't get it

Exactly, yes.

OHS!!! Tom T. Hall, the master himself
One simple but powerful musical masterpiece. What's not to love about Tom T? Powerful message sent in this composition. WOW!!

I grew up on this Gospel my mom used to sing...I cant believe I still know all the words...God rest her soul...I love you mom...

Such a pretty song

Wow he still sounds amazing! Love Tom T Hall

2019 He is still kickin butt at 83.

What has happen to our country now in 2019 so sad .

Don't get too low nothing really changes look at history it all goes round and round and perhaps gets a little better as many many years go by

My mom is in a nursing home with the later stage of dementia. This song made her smile. I play music for her when I visit her.

07:30 pure admiration

valine Griffith who was that?

Back in the Day... The hammers and saws all went quiet, when ole Tom started singing this. We all knew that day was coming

I guess the greatest compliment I could pay Tom T. Hall is that he's an instantly recognisable and loved artist to even those, like me, who aren't rusted on country music fans. And what a magnificent legacy he has left the world of music. Bless him, from Australia.

Fantastic

3:50 if you'd like to skip the introduction :)

Michael DaRosa the introduction was very interesting to me because i never knew that this song was based on a true to life experience.

A REAL country singer from back when I was boy. My father played him and the likes of him when i was a child of the 70's. Today's country is just another form of top-40 garbage.

I don't matter if he's a little out of of tune just listen to the lyrics kids! You may learn a little something

One of the greatest story tellers of all time.

Still makes my eyes well up

One of the greats. Like George sang “who’s gonna feel there shoes “

Some of us remember... while others newly discover.

I seen Tom in helper Utah, I can’t rember the year ,but I’ll I never forget the music. Lov. Tom t hall all the great olides

I am, love this guy and his music.

One of my favourite songs of all time....

Still true...except for the wine. Just add Jesus in place of the wine and you have it right.

One part broken one part shame one part human frailty one part Jesus. Stir until sanctified

Love these good old country music songs. Not the same now a days. Keep it going. Canada

What kind of a tard could possibly thumb this down. Speaks a great deal of this selfish society we’re enveloped in

It does not get any better!

They use the term "artist" a little too freely today referring to singers. This guy was an Artist!!!

One of my all time favorites. I played the hell out of this on the jukebox in 1973. Almost wore it out. Love it.

i could listen to all his stories all day long. thanks to Youtub i can.

Great music

Grew up listening to this great man. Song makes me cry everytime I hear it.

Im Watchin...In Ireland...

This is one of the great songs of life

I think you probably have had to experience a big part of your life to really appreciate this song. As a young man when I first heard it, I really didn’t get it. Now at 68, I completely get it. Great lesson that we all eventually learn to appreciate.

I love the song

❤❤❤

You racist fucking swine fuck Tom T Hall I love his music but he's a racist piece of shit just like Donald Trump a racist piece of shit

You slur so much that you sound stupid actually country music is stupid for stupid people welcome to Indiana you fucking idiots

A dog will love you to the day they die.They are the perfect companion in life.Every time I burry a dog,I cry.I don’t drink and I don’t have any young children anymore,but I do have a very beautiful dog named Hazel.God bless all who live dogs.

Leaving tippary

From an Indonesian fan, warm applause, always..God bless you, Tom. You are one of His Singing Angels now.

They way he keeps his guitar up...man that makes playing a lot harder...dont you know guitar belts pal?

🇮🇪I am 👍

Beautiful honest music !! :))

I don't know how I got here but this is sheer magic, absolutely beautifull

Tom T! This is soothing. Just what I needed to hear again.

I love and miss Tom T-----love his story tellings---

Just love this song ..
Tom is so strong in his delivery of his songs , but in a kind and retrospective style ..
One of the greatest.. I'm so glad he was mentioned in Country Music by Mr. Burns ..
God Bless You All and Thanks for the Music

Tom T. was my favorite country balladeer ! RIP Tom !

He's not departed!

fucking legend

Great ❤️

back when cpountry music was ountry music , too bad it has passed away

And you could hear a pin drop. Ladies and gentlemen that's entertainment.

Democrats are Criminally Insane, thieving, lying, cheating, murdering, scum that should not be allowed to breathe free air.

There is only one word to define this heartwarming tune 'timeless'.

It's a true shame that REAL entertainers like Tom T are so few and far between these days!

Tom T the greatest storyteller of all time...

I can't hear without crying, nor can anyone in my family...We understand the loneliness behind it and how it's the simple things that get us through and how to appreciate a little kindness from a stranger and joy in childhood innocence.

I loved Tom T. Hall! One of my Dad's favorites! Loved this song!

October 2019. Still lovin Tom T. !!!!!!

I AM ..I'm 69 yo and luvin it!

A legend

Wonderful thankyou!

How on EARTH does he sound exactly the same as he did when this was recorded. Tom T. Hall is timeless!

I was born in 1972 and I love Tom T Hall this is the shit that I came up on so cool so fucking cool

After this, I'm going to a gallon of White Lightin.
