Lyrics:

Well when I was a young man and never been kissed
I got to thinkin' it over how much I'd 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 uh uh kisses 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 pleaded like a natural man
And then whups oh Lordy well she gave me her hand

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine...

Well we worked very hard both me and my wife
A working hand in hand to have a good life
We had corn in the fields and whaet in the bins
And then whups oh Lord I was the father of twins

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine...

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

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine...

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

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine...
