Jimmie Rodgers (US-WA) - Kisses Sweeter Than Wine lyrics

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 Oh, lordy, well I kissed 'er again. CHORUS: 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. CHORUS 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. CHORUS 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. CHORUS 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.
