Jimmie Rodgers
Well, when I was a young man, never been kissed
I got to thinkin' it over, how much I had missed
So I got me a girl and I kissed her and then, and then
Oh, lordy, well, I kissed her again
Because, she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mm-mm, kisses sweeter than wine
(Sweeter than wine)
Well, I asked her to marry and be my sweet wife
I told her we'd be so happy for the rest of our life
I begged and I pleaded like a natural man
And then (whoops!) oh, lordy, well she gave me her hand
Because, she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mm-mm, kisses sweeter than wine
(Sweeter than wine)
Well, we worked very hard, both me and my wife
We workin' hand-in-hand to have a good life
We had corn in the field and wheat in the bin
And then (whoops!) oh, lord, I was the father of twins
Because, she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mm-mm, kisses sweeter than wine
(Sweeter than wine)
Well, our children, they numbered just about four
And they all had a sweetheart a knockin' at the door
They all got married and they wouldn't hesitate
I was (whoops!) oh, lord, the grandfather of eight
Because, she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mm-mm, kisses sweeter than wine
(Sweeter than wine)
Well, now, that I'm old and I'm ready to go
I get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago
Had a lot of kids, a lot of trouble, and pain
But then (whoops!) oh, lordy, well I'd do it all again
Because, she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mm-mm, kisses sweeter than wine
I got to thinkin' it over, how much I had missed
So I got me a girl and I kissed her and then, and then
Oh, lordy, well, I kissed her again
Because, she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mm-mm, kisses sweeter than wine
(Sweeter than wine)
Well, I asked her to marry and be my sweet wife
I told her we'd be so happy for the rest of our life
I begged and I pleaded like a natural man
And then (whoops!) oh, lordy, well she gave me her hand
Because, she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mm-mm, kisses sweeter than wine
(Sweeter than wine)
Well, we worked very hard, both me and my wife
We workin' hand-in-hand to have a good life
We had corn in the field and wheat in the bin
And then (whoops!) oh, lord, I was the father of twins
Because, she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mm-mm, kisses sweeter than wine
(Sweeter than wine)
Well, our children, they numbered just about four
And they all had a sweetheart a knockin' at the door
They all got married and they wouldn't hesitate
I was (whoops!) oh, lord, the grandfather of eight
Because, she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mm-mm, kisses sweeter than wine
(Sweeter than wine)
Well, now, that I'm old and I'm ready to go
I get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago
Had a lot of kids, a lot of trouble, and pain
But then (whoops!) oh, lordy, well I'd do it all again
Because, she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mm-mm, kisses sweeter than wine
