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 'er again
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
|
She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine
|
(Sweeter than wine)
|
|
Well I asked her to marry and to 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
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
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
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
Well our children they numbered just about four
|
And they all had a sweetheart a'knockin' on the door
|
They all got married and they wouldn't hesitate
|
I was, whoops oh lord, the grandfather of eight
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
Well now that I'm old and I'm a'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 kisses sweeter than wine
|
