Kisses Sweeter Than Wine
Well, when I was a young man and 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, Lord, 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 her and I pleaded like a natural man
And then, whoops! Oh Lord, 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
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 Lord, 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, Lord, 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 her and I pleaded like a natural man
And then, whoops! Oh Lord, 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
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 Lord, well, I'd do it all again
Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mm-mm, kisses sweeter than wine
