Kisses Sweeter Than Wine

Lyrics

When I was a young man I'd never been kissed
 I got to thinking over what I had missed
 Got me a girl I kissed her and then...
 Oh lord, I kissed her again
 Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine
 Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine
 ♪
 I asked she to marry and be his sweet wife
 We be so happy— all of our life
 I begged and he pleaded like a natural man, and then...
 Oh lord, I gave him my hand
 Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine
 Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine
 ♪
 I worked mighty hard and so did my wife
 Working hand in hand to make a good life
 Corn in the field and wheat in the bins, and then...
 Oh lord, I was the father of twins
 Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine
 Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine
 Our children numbered just about four
 And they all had sweethearts knocking on the door
 They all got married and they didn't wait, I was...
 Oh lord! a grandmother of eight!
 Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine
 Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine
 ♪
 Now we are old and ready to go
 Thinking about what happened a long time ago
 ♪
 We had lots of kids and trouble and pain, but...
 Oh lord, we'd do it again
 Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.
 Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine
