When I was a young man and never been kissed
I got to thinking over what I had missed
Got me a girl, I kissed her and then
Oh Lord, I kissed her again
Oh, a kiss is sweeter than wine
Oh, a kiss is sweeter than wine
I asked her, "Would you marry and be my sweet wife?
We'd be so happy all of our life"
I begged and I pleaded like a natural man
And then, oh Lord, she gave me her hand
Oh, a kiss is sweeter than wine
Oh, a kiss is sweeter than wine
ย
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 bin
I was, oh Lord, the father of twins
Oh, a kiss is sweeter than wine
Oh, a kiss is sweeter than wine
Our children numbered just about four
They all had sweethearts a-knocking at the door
They all got married, they didn't hesitate
I was, oh Lord, the grandfather of eight
Oh, a kiss is sweeter than wine
Oh, a kiss is sweeter than wine
ย
Now we are old and ready to go
We get to thinking what happened a long time ago
Had a lot of kids, trouble and pain
But, oh Lord, we'd do it again
Oh, a kiss is sweeter than wine
Oh, a kiss is sweeter than wine
