When I was a young man I'd never been kissed I got to thinking about what I had missed I found a girl I kissed her and then Oh lord I kissed her again Oooooh kisses sweeter than wine Oooooh kisses sweeter than wine He asked me to marry and be his sweet wife We would be happy - all of our life He begged and he pleaded like a natural man and then Oh lord I gave him my hand Oooooh kisses sweeter than wine oooooh kisses 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 bins and then Oh lord I was the father of twins Oooooh kisses sweeter than wine oooooh kisses Our children numbered just about four And they all had sweethearts knocking on the door They all got married and they didn't wait I was Oh lord! A grandmother of eight! Oooooh kisses sweeter than wine oooooh kisses Now we are old and ready to go Thinking about what happened a long time ago We had lots of kids and trouble and pain but Oh lord we'd do it again Oooooh kisses sweeter than wine oooooh kisses Oooooh kisses sweeter than wine oooooh kisses
