When I was a young man I'd never been kissed;
I got to thinking it over how much I had missed.
I got me a girl and I kissed her and then, and then...
Oh Lord, I kissed her again.
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;
And we would be so happy the rest of our life.
I begged and I pleaded like a natural man, and then...
Oh Lord, she gave me her my hand.
She had kisses sweeter than wine,
She had mmmm kisses 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.
She had kisses sweeter than wine.
She had mmm kisses 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 grandfather of eight!
She had kisses sweeter than wine.
She had mmm kisses 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.
She had kisses sweeter than wine,
She had mmm kisses sweeter than wine.
