Well when I was a young man and never been kissed I got to thinkin' it over how much I'd 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 uh uh kisses sweeter than wine Well I asked her to marry and be my sweet wife I told her we'd be so happy for the rest of our life I begged her and pleaded like a natural man And then whups oh Lordy well she gave me her hand Because she had kisses sweeter than wine... Well we worked very hard both me and my wife A working hand in hand to have a good life We had corn in the fields and whaet in the bins And then whups oh Lord I was the father of twins Because she had kisses sweeter than wine... Well our children then numbered just about four And they all had the sweethearts a knockin' at the door They all got married and they wouldn't hesitate I was whups oh Lord the grandfather of eight Because she had kisses sweeter than wine... Well now that I'm old and ready to go We get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago Had a lotta kids a lotta trouble and pain But then whups oh Lord we'd do it all again Because she had kisses sweeter than wine...
