Kisses Sweeter Than Wine lyrics

There once was a young man who'd never been kissed

He got to thinkin' it over how much he had missed

So he found a girl, he kissed her and then

Well wouldn't you know he kissed her again

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine

She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine

He asked her to marry and be his good wife

And to make him happy the rest of his life

He begged and he pleaded like a natural man

And wouldn't you know she gave him her hand

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine

She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine

He worked mighty hard and so did his wife

Workin' hand-in-hand to make a good life

There was corn in the fields and wheat in the bins

Wouldn't you know he was the father of twins

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine

She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine

They had children numbered just about four

And they all had sweethearts knockin' at the door

They all got married didn't hesitate

Before long he was a grandfather of eight

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine

She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine

Now he's old and ready to go

He gets to thinking what happened a long time ago

They had lots of kids, and trouble and pain

But you can bet your life, he'd do it again

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine

She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine

It's clear to see

She had kisses sweeter than wine
