I have an old copy of Tom T Hall's "Old Dogs and Children and Watermelon Wine" but a couple of words in the first verse seem to be missing!?!   Can anyone please help?

How old do you think I am? he said, I said well I didn't know,
He said I turned sixty-five about eleven months ago.
I was sitting in my ????? pouring blended whiskey down,
When this old grey black gentleman was cleaning up the lounge

Many thanks
