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... |
