| Jackson:
|
| 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.
|
| Together:
|
| Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.
|
| Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.
|
| Bonnie:
|
| 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.
|
| Together:
|
| Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.
|
| Oooooh, kisses…
|
| Jackson:
|
| 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.
|
| Together:
|
| Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.
|
| Oooooh, kisses…
|
| Bonnie:
|
| 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!
|
| Together:
|
| Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.
|
| Oooooh, kisses…
|
| Jackson:
|

|
| Bonnie:
|
| We had lots of kids and trouble and pain, but…

|
| Together:
|
| Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.
