Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
When I was a young man
I'd never been kissed
I got a -thinking it over,
what I had missed
I got me a girl, I kissed her then
But, oh Lord, I kissed her again
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
He asked me to marry thee, sweet wife
We would be happy all of our lives
He begged and he pleaded
like a natural man
Oh Lord, I gave him my hand
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
I worked mighty hard and
so did my wife
Working hand in hand
to make a good life
Corn on the fields and
wheat in the bend
I was, oh Lord, the father of twins
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
My children numbered
just about four
They all had sweethearts
knocking at the door
They all got married, didn't hesitate
I was the old lord, the grandmother of eight
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Now we're old and way to go
We get to thinking what
happened a long time ago
We had a lot of kids
and troubles and pain
But, oh Lord, we do it again
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
