Lyrics:

There once was a young man who'd never been kissed He's got to thinkin' it over how much Ihe had missed So he got me a girl and he kissed her and then, and then Oh, lord, well he kissed 'er again CHORUS Because she had kisses sweeter than wine She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine Well he asked her to marry and to be his good wife He told her we'd be so happy for the rest of his life He begged and he pleaded like a natural man And then, whoops oh lord, well she gave him her hand CHORUS Well we worked very hard both me and my wife Workin' hand-in-hand to have a good life We had corn in the field and wheat in the bin And then, whoops oh lord, I was the father of twins CHORUS Well their children they numbered just about four And they all had a sweetheart a'knockin' on the door They all got married and they wouldn't hesitate He was, whoops oh lord, the grandfather of eight CHORUS Well now that he's old and he's already to go He get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago Had a lot of kids, a lot of trouble and pain But then, whoops oh lord, well he'd do it all again Because she had kisses sweeter than wine She had, mmm?kisses?sweeter?than?wine

There once was a young man who'd never been kissed
He's got to thinkin' it over how much Ihe had missed
So he got me a girl and he kissed her and then, and then
Oh, lord, well he kissed 'er again
CHORUS
Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine
Well he asked her to marry and to be his good wife
He told her we'd be so happy for the rest of his life
He begged and he pleaded like a natural man
And then, whoops oh lord, well she gave him her hand
CHORUS
Well we worked very hard both me and my wife
Workin' hand-in-hand to have a good life
We had corn in the field and wheat in the bin
And then, whoops oh lord, I was the father of twins
CHORUS
Well their children they numbered just about four
And they all had a sweetheart a'knockin' on the door
They all got married and they wouldn't hesitate
He was, whoops oh lord, the grandfather of eight
CHORUS
Well now that he's old and he's already to go
He get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago
Had a lot of kids, a lot of trouble and pain
But then, whoops oh lord, well he'd do it all again
Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mmm?kisses?sweeter?than?wine
