Well, when I was a young man and never been kissed
I got to thinkin’ it over how much I had missed
So I got me a girl and I kissed and then, and then
Whoops, Oh Lord, a-well I kissed her again, because
(Chorus)
She had Kisses Sweeter Than Wine,
She had Mmm, mmm, 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 lives
Well I begged and I pleaded like a natural man and then whoops, Oh Lordy, well, she gave me her hand, because
(Chorus)
Well I worked mighty hard, both me and my wife
Workin’ hand in hand to have a good life
Had corn in the field and wheat in the bin and then
Whoops, Oh Lord I was the father of twins because
(Chorus)

Well, our children they number just about four
And they all got a sweetheart a knockin’ at the door
They all got married they didn’t hesitate I was
Whoops, oh Lord, the grandfather of eight because
(Chorus)

Well now that I’m old and ready to go
I get to thinkin’ what happened a long time ago
Well I had a lot a kids a lotta trouble and pain, but then Whoops, oh Lord, I’d do it all again because
She had Kisses Sweeter Than Wine she had
Mmm, mmm, Kisses Sweeter Than Wine
