The Weavers - Kisses Sweeter than Wine

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

When I was a young man and never been kissed

I got to thinkin' over what I had missed

I got me 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 would I marry and be his sweet wife

Then we would be so 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

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

Then, oh Lord, I was the father of twins

Our children numbered just about four

They all had sweethearts a-knockin' on the door

They all got married and they didn't hesitate

I was, oh Lord, the grandmother of eight

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

Now we are old, and ready to go

We get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago

We had a lot o' kids, trouble and pain

But, oh Lord, we'd do it again

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
