Lyrics:

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 her and then, and then
Oh Lordy, well I kissed her again

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mm-mmm, kisses sweeter than wine
(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 life
I begged her and I pleaded like a natural man
And then, whoops oh Lordy, well she gave me her hand

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mm-mmm, kisses sweeter than wine
(Sweeter than wine)

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

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mm-mmm, kisses sweeter than wine
(Sweeter than wine)

Well, our children, they numbered just about four
And they all had a sweetheart a-knockin' at the door
They all got married and they wouldn't hesitate
I was, whoops oh Lord, the grandfather of eight

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mm-mmm, kisses sweeter than wine
(Sweeter than wine)

Well, now that I'm old and I'm ready to go
I get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago
Had a lotta kids, a lotta trouble and pain
But then, whoops oh Lordy, well I'd do it all again

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mm-mmm, kisses sweeter than wine
