[Refrain]
Oh, oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, oh, kisses sweeter than wine
[Verse 1]
When I was a young man and never been kissed
I got to thinkin' over what I had missed
Got me a girl, I kissed her and then
Oh, Lord, I kissed her again
[Refrain]
Oh, oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, oh, kisses sweeter than wine
[Verse 2]
He asked me would I marry and be his sweet wife
And we would be so happy all of our life
He begged, and he pleaded like a natural man
And then, oh, Lord, I gave him my hand hand
[Refrain]
Oh, oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, oh, kisses sweeter than wine
[Verse 3]
I worked mighty hard and so did my wife
Workin' 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
[Refrain]
Oh, oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, oh, kisses sweeter than wine
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
Our children numbered just about four
They all had sweethearts knockin' on the door
They all got married, and they didn't hesitate
I was, oh Lord, the grandmother of eight
[Refrain]
Oh, oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, oh, kisses sweeter than wine
[Verse 5]
Now, we are 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
[Refrain]
Oh, oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, oh, kisses sweeter than wine
