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 Lordy well
I kissed her again
Because
She had kisses
Sweeter than wine
She had
Mmm mmm kisses
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 Lordy
Well she
Gave me her hand
Because
She had kisses
Sweeter than wine
She had
Mmm mmm kisses
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
Mmm mmm kisses
Sweeter than wine
Well our children
They numbered
Just about four and they
All had a sweetheart
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
Mmm mmm kisses
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
Mmm mmm kisses
Sweeter than wine
