Kisses Sweeter Than Wine

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 to marry and be his sweet wife,

And 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.

Oh, Kisses Sweeter Than Wine.

I worked mighty hard and so did my wife,

A-workin’ hand in hand to make a good life.

With corn in the fields and wheat in the bins and then,

Oh, Lord, I was the father of twins.

Oh, Kisses Sweeter Than Wine.

Oh, Kisses Sweeter Than Wine.

Our children numbered just about four

And they all had sweethearts knock on the door.

They all got married and they didn’t wait, I was

Oh, Lord, the grandfather of eight.

Oh, Kisses Sweeter Than Wine.

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 lots of kids and trouble and pain but,

Oh, Lord, we’d do it again.

Oh, Kisses Sweeter Than Wine.

Oh, Kisses Sweeter Than Wine
