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 uhm uhm 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 whoops oh Lordy well she gave me her hand

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had uhm uhm 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 wheat in the bins
And then whoops oh Lord I was the father of twins

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had uhm uhm 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 whoops oh Lord the grandfather of eight

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had uhm uhm 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 whoops oh Lord we'd do it all again

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had uhm uhm kisses sweeter than wine
