Tom T Hall Old Dogs Children And Watermelon Wine

[MrGrandad4]

Love it. Thank you.

[Longhammer37214]

I hope I can have a bunch of dogs in heaven. They share their love with me here on this earth, and show me a little bit of heaven with their love and loyalty.

[08dust]

This was before country music went to hell...

[MrValiantAP6]

Just checked on Wukipedia... Tom wrote this song, and if I'm not mistaken, it might have made it into the Aussie top 10 back in 72/73.

Great song...I'm gonna play it again...

[MrBigdaddyOHIO]

i miss you boo

[luvemcats888]

I went to see Tom T. Hall play at the Plattsburgh (NY) county fair back in the late 70's. It started to rain during his show and he invited a bunch of people up on stage to get out of the rain. A class act is how I remember old Tom.

[workonitm8]

Did Tom write this song? and is it based on an actual event in his life?

[admiraljoshhar]

Everytime I see a dog, I think of this beautiful song.

[TheTexastransplant]

My wife and I do animal rescue, take in strays, etc. We have 8 dogs ranging in size from 200 lbs down to 15 lbs. We also have numerous cats, and we have lost several pets (friends) over the years and each of them were, and still remain, very special. We are both in the medical profession and each of us are crazy about kids, but we don't drink (not even watermelon wine).

[rosemarie443]

@TheTexastransplant great, i try and take care of the little squirrels in my community. they are so entertainimg. better than anything on TV

[raynbo7]

Now this is a country song. Thank God 4 Tom T. Hall!

[joenancybarrera]

How can anybody NOT like this song. I listen to it over and over again. They'll be playing this song 200 years from now.

[Zona57Bob]

...and to you, 'rosemarrie443' - and your little squirrel! May he have plenty of nuts and friends in his afterlife. Our very best friends have nothing less than 4 legs.

[Zona57Bob]

Here's to 'doggies, young children - and watermelon wine.' Lift a glass all you Tom T Hall fans!

[rosemarie443]

at one time i had 4 dogs and all of them had a perserality of their own, and i loved each for themsleves. and then lately i had a babyi squirrel, he fell out of the tree when his mother was gone and he was hungery , i loved him and he showed me so much fun. you would be suprised what they have to offer in entertainment. better than TV

[Zona57Bob]

I posted earlier, because my little 20 lb 'Bobbie-girl' crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Nov 20th this year (2 weeks ago). She was my best 4-legged friend of 17 1/2 years and the only doggie of my adult life. Even through my tears, Tom T. Hall knows what he's talking about.

[etcurrie]

my dog "goldie" died 30 years ago and I still mourn and miss her.

[46r11]

Racist - get a life

[fd7867gmail]

Classic Country the way it was meant to be...brought up on this music along with Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, Gene Autry, Hank Williams, Tenessee Erie Ford, Ernest Tubbs , etc...brings back fond memories of childhood...melts away all the stress and drama of today !

[kawikahob1]

@fd7867gmail You are absoulutely right. Will miss greatly this callibre of coutry stars

[donkies6]

This song makes you forget about all the stresses of our daily lives and feel a gentle calm come over you. Pure magic.

[MrsPitlik]

[SHADOWMAN296]

Always been one of my favorite songwriters and singers. Great voice. Similar to George Jones.

[carnut476]

Beautiful song by a wonderful caring gentleman .

[milfil2000]

So true...!

[biastg]

I had a similar experience to this song when I was a teenager in the 1960s. I was pulling weeds in my parents' garden, and the live-in gardener next door engaged me in conversation. He told me all about his army experience: in World War One!

[Newtonsgatorboy1]

Happy birthday tom t hall

[canthill3]

This ones for Debbie and me ...For the Big Man

[borntrippin]

Truly wonderful, breaks my heart, wish America was still here!



[iafarmboy]

@borntrippin I agree!

[Zona57Bob]

This is my all-time favorite from 'The Storyteller.' It harkens back to simpler, more meaningful times without so much disruption in society. Tom T. Hall has always had the great voice, the tunes and the words to express the essense of a once-proud nation. We need men like him, again, to bring back a heritage founded on truth - and simplicity. God bless you, Mr. Hall - always well done!

[wmacisaac]

This is the origin of Rap Music.

[strawberryblonde54]

Love this song -- it's my FAV Tom! I love your voice.  I love you Tom T.

[country571]

Nice song.  5 stars

[brian1958usgrant]

old dogs and children and watermellon wine it doesn't get ant better than that or 'I don't think Hank done it this way' country music allways tells a great story then again so does Pink F lyod or my personal favorite Mr. Warren Zevon

[brian1958usgrant]

[kmccorma]

Tom T Hall use to be the DJ in Ronceverte, WV before he got famous.

[50marcy]

One of the best of the oldies ,always loved this song..~~Great meaning of LIFE~

[thevoiceisbydon]

i had a friend who once got drunk with ol tom t. he swears to this day that tom started crying and told him "what i wrote about in that song was true - ain't but 3 things in this world worth a solitary dime..."

[MPDCSCOUT135]

[MPDCSCOUT135]

[jesusisrisen7]

1 person missed the,like button. if it was u, U SUCK!!!

[brotherjon100]

Don't be so Political correct, just listen and don't ware your feelings on your sleeve.

[cbintupelo]

just classic....miss this kind of music

[MrTelepicker]

@ thecartman89 , and I quote......"God bless little children, while they're still too young to hate"......does that sound racist ????

[tehshadow23]

@MrTelepicker no How in the fuck does that sound racist

[MrTelepicker]

@tehshadow23 It doesn't.......moron ! That is what I was trying to point out to that idiot Cartmen89. He was the one who said this was racist and I simply quoted the words of the song, to prove IT IS NOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vcantr000]

There is nothing racist about this song. This song is told in a truthful story like manner. If you don't like it, why are you even on this page?

[BillyRayCyrusFan46]

im 14 yrs old i know alot about 50s, 60s 70s country music but tom t hall is defintely the best out of em all i think thts my opinion

[TheCartman89]

@BillyRayCyrusFan46 this is the most racist song i've heard in my life. ever.

[dawsonb]

yr sorta retarded there bub?

[TheCartman89]

@dawsonb i guss you dont understand prejudice, its okay though, most rednecks don't

[dawsonb]

guess that's why I live in China...but I wish I were as astute, culturally aware, and witty as you undisputedly are...

the mind boggles that you have never heard rap, or hip hop, or of songs by the likes of Johnny Rebel (google) and think a by Tom T , is somehow 'raciest' perhaps you could enlighten the rest of us Anglophiles Mr Sensitive? We'd love to read yr brilliant analysis of a song by a man who has 11 #1 hit songs, with 26 more that reached the Top 10, including pop...

[dawsonb]

we don't doubt that the Grammy award winning artist who has written songs for, among others, Johnny Cash, George Jones, Loretta Lynn, Waylon Jennings, Alan Jackson, and Bobby Bare. We don't doubt that he is racist and that this is a hate anthem because hey, you said so, and you are obviously a bright kid, which is why you assume I'm a redneck and it never crosses yr mind I might actually be African-Chinese.

Go ahead...the world awaits yr wisdom.

[TheCartman89]

@dawsonb i'm sorry, i don't waste time on pathetic china trolls. lol. see what i did there? of coarse you did., your a chink.

[dawsonb]

of course I'm coarse...we get it now...

[TheCartman89]

@dawsonb hey, dont ever let someone say chinks cant see out there eyes, because they can, because they can. just because you cant see there eyes, doesent mean there not there.

[Badaktor]

No...only a racist, would find this song racist.

[curvyshari]

@Badaktor SORRY I hit the wrong position ! Classic country #1 always !

[idgit2442]

@TheCartman89 ------You dude are the bigot. calling people redneck. well, the 99% of us that see you for the racist, bigoted troll you are, have 0 concern about your nothing opinion. bye bigot.

[angeldustxiii]

i used to listen to him with my dad when i was a kid. sneakey snake is another of his i really like,

[brbbns1]

yea,i used to listen to him with my pops-check out the beer song-its funny-I usually listen to heavy metal-but it's nice to come back to the old stuff.

[txstoryteller]

One of my favorite songs growing up; I loved ol' Tom T., the StoryTeller! FIVE stars; awesome video!
