Story about this misheard lyric by: John R.

I actually have never heard the lyrics this way. But I remember seeing Tom T. Hall on a TV show back in the 80's telling a story about a little old lady who came up to him during one of his shows, saying she wanted to hear that song about 'radish and root beer'. Tom T. obliged.

I can see him half-stoned a-pickin' out the lovesick blues

"Old Dogs And Children And Watermelon Wine"
The Lyrics:
The guy who ran the bar was watching "Ironsides" (sic) on TV.
Why:
Despite the spurious final "s" (probably a common error relative to the TV show in question), this is undoubtedly a reference to "Ironside", the San Francisco police drama that debuted in 1967.
