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

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 kisses sweeter than wine
