When I was a young man and never been kissed I got to thinking over how much I had missed I got me a girl and I kissed her and then and then Oh Lord, I kissed her again She had kisses sweeter than wine She had kisses sweeter than wine I asked her to marry and be my sweet wife and we would be so happy the rest of our life I begged and I pleaded like a natural man and then and then Oh Lord, she gave me her hand She had kisses sweeter than wine She had kisses sweeter than wine Sweeter than wine I worked very hard both me and my wife Working hand in hand to make a good life With corn in the fields and weed in the bins Oh Lord, I was the father of twins She had kisses sweeter than wine She had kisses sweeter than wine Well now I'm an old man and ready to go I got to think of what happened a long time ago I had lots of kids, trouble and pain but Oh Lord, I knew when it can be done She had kisses sweeter than wine She had kisses sweeter than wine Sweeter than wine
