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 thinking over what I had missed

Got me a girl and 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

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

Working hand in hand to make a good life

Corn in the field and wheat in the bin

I was, oh Lord, the father of twins

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

Our children numbered just about four

They all had sweethearts knocking at the door

They all got married and they didn't hesitate

I was, oh Lord, grandmother of eight

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

Now we are old and ready to go

We get to thinking what happened a long time ago

Had a lot of kids, trouble, and pain

But, oh Lord, we'd do it again

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
