When I was a young man I'd never been kissed I got to thinking about how what I had missed. so I found a girl. I kissed her and then and then Oh Lord, I kissed her again. Because she had kisses sweeter than wine. she had kisses sweeter than wine. sweeter than wine. He asked me to marry and be his sweet wife We would be happy all of our life. He begged and he pleaded like a natural man, and then Oh Lord, I gave him my hand. Because she had kisses sweeter than wine. she had kisses sweeter than wine. sweeter than wine. I worked mighty hard and so did my wife Working hand in hand to make a good life. Corn in the field and wheat in the bins, and then Oh Lord, I was the father of twins. Because she had kisses sweeter than wine. she had kisses sweeter than wine. sweeter than wine. Our children numbered just about four And they all had sweethearts knocking on the door. They all got married and they didn't wait, I was Oh Lord! A grandmother of eight! Because she had kisses sweeter than wine. she had kisses sweeter than wine. sweeter than wine. Now we are old and ready to go Thinking about what happened a long time ago. We had lots of kids and trouble and pain, but Oh Lord, we'd do it again. Because she had kisses sweeter than wine. she had kisses sweeter than wine.
