Kisses Sweeter Than Wine

When I was a young man and never been kissed

I got to thinking it over what

I had missed.

I got me a girl,

I kissed her and then

Oh lord, I kissed her again.

Chorus:Oh, kisses sweeter than wine,

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

I asked her to marry and be my sweet wife,

And we would be so happy the rest of our lives.

I begged and

I pleaded like a natural man,

And then, oh lord, she gave me her hand.(chorus)

I worked mighty hard and so did my wife,

Workin' hand in hand to make a good life.

With corn in the field and wheat in the bins,

I was, oh lord, the father of twins.(chorus)

Our children they numbered just about four,

They all had sweethearts knockin' at the door.

They all got married and they didn't hesitate;

I was, oh lord, the grandmother of eight.(chorus)

Now that we're old, and ready to go,

We get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago.

We had a lot of kids, trouble and pain,

But, oh lord, we'd do it again.(chorus)
