Lyrics

(Performed by jackson browne and bonnie raitt on the pete seeger tribute album where have all the flowers gone;1998)

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:
Now we are old and ready to go
Thinking about what happened a long time ago

Bonnie:
We had lots of kids and trouble and pain, but..
Oh lord, we'd do it again

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