Lyrics

When I was a young man and never been kissed
I got to thinking it over what I had missed
I got me a girl, I kissed her and then
Oh lord, I kissed her again

Chorus:
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

I asked her to marry and be my sweet wife
And we would be so happy the rest of our lives
I begged and I pleaded like a natural man
And then, oh lord, she gave me her hand

(Chorus)

I worked mighty hard and so did my wife
Workin' hand in hand to make a good life
With corn in the field and wheat in the bins
I was, oh lord, the father of twins

(Chorus)

Our children they numbered just about four
They all had sweethearts knockin' at the door
They all got married and they didn't hesitate;
I was, oh lord, the grandmother of eight

(Chorus)

Now that we're old, and ready to go
We get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago
We had a lot of kids, trouble and pain
But, oh lord, we'd do it again

(Chorus)
