Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
When I was a young man and never been kissed
I got to thinkin' over what I had missed
I got me a girl, I kissed her and then
Oh Lord, I kissed her again
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
He asked me would I marry and be his sweet wife
Then we would be so happy all of our life
He begged and he pleaded like a natural man
And then, oh Lord, I gave him my hand
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
I worked mighty hard, and so did my wife
Workin' hand in hand to make a good life
With corn in the field and wheat in the bins
Then, oh Lord, I was the father of twins
Our children numbered just about four
They all had sweethearts a-knockin' on the door
They all got married and they didn't hesitate
I was, oh Lord, the grandmother of eight
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Now we are old, and ready to go
We get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago
We had a lot o' kids, trouble and pain
But, oh Lord, we'd do it again
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
