When I was a young man and never been kissed   I got to thinking it over what I had missed.   I got me a girl, I kissed her and then   Oh lord, I kissed her again.      Chorus:   Oh, kisses sweeter than wine,   Oh, kisses sweeter than wine      I asked her to marry and be my sweet wife,   And we would be so happy the rest of our lives.   I begged and I pleaded like a natural man,   And then, oh lord, she gave me her hand.      (chorus)      I worked mighty hard and so did my wife,   Workin' hand in hand to make a good life.   With corn in the field and wheat in the bins,   I was, oh lord, the father of twins.      (chorus)      Our children they numbered just about four,   They all had sweethearts knockin' at the door.   They all got married and they didn't hesitate;   I was, oh lord, the grandmother of eight.      (chorus)      Now that we're old, and ready to go,   We get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago.   We had a lot of kids, trouble and pain,   But, oh lord, we'd do it again.      (chorus)
