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, and then Oh, lordy, well I kissed er again
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
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
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
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
