| 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 uh uh 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 whups oh Lordy well she gave me her hand
|
| Because she had 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 whaet in the bins
|
| And then whups oh Lord I was the father of twins
|
| Because she had 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 whups oh Lord the grandfather of eight
|
| Because she had 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 whups oh Lord we’d do it all again
|
| Because she had kisses sweeter than wine… |
