Lyrics:

When I was a young man I'd never been kissed
I got to thinking 'bout what I had missed
I found a girl, I kissed her and then
Oh Lord, I kissed her again

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

He asked me to marry and be his sweet wife
That we would be happy all of our life
He begged and he pleaded like a natural man, and then
Oh Lord, I gave him my hand

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, kisses

I worked mighty hard and so did my wife
Working hand in hand to make a good life
With corn in the fields and wheat in the bins, and then
Oh Lord, I was the father of twins

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, kisses

Our children numbered just about four
And they all had sweethearts knocking on the door
They all got married and they didn't wait, I was
Oh Lord, a grandmother of eight

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, kisses

Now we are old and ready to go
Thinking 'bout what happened a long time ago
We had lots of kids and trouble and pain, but
Oh Lord, we'd do it again

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, kisses
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, kisses
