Kisses Sweeter Than Wine

When I was a young man and never been kissed

I got to thinking over what I had missed

I got me a girl, I kissed her and then

Oh Lord, I kissed her again, because

Chorus:

She had - - - Kisses sweeter than wine

She had Mmm Mmm - - - Kisses sweeter than wine

 

I asked her to marry and be my sweet wife

And we would be so happy the rest of our life

I begged and I pleaded like a natural man

And then, Oh Lord, she gave me her hand

I worked mighty hard and so did my wife

A-working hand in hand to make a good life

With corn in the fields and wheat in the bins

And then, Oh Lord, I was the father of twins

Our children they numbered just about four

And they all had sweethearts knocking at the door

They all got married and they didn't hesitate

I was, Oh Lord, the grandfather of eight

Now that I'm old and ready to go

I get to thinking what happened a long time ago

We had a lot of kids, trouble and pain

But, Oh Lord, I'd do it again
