------------------------------..................
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 her again, 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, because...
She had kisses sweeter than wine,
She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine.
(Sweeter than wine)...
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, because...
She had kisses sweeter than wine,
She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine.
(Sweeter than wine)...
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, because...
She had kisses sweeter than wine,
She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine.
(Sweeter than wine)...
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, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine...
