Well when I was a young man never been kissed

I got to thinkin' it over how much I had missed

So I got me a girl and I kissed her and then and then

Oh lordy well I kissed 'er again

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine

She had mmm mmm kisses sweeter than wine

Sweeter than wine

Well I asked her to marry and to be my sweet wife

I told her we'd be so happy for the rest of our life

I begged and I pleaded like a natural man

And then whoops so lordy well she gave me her hand

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine

She had mmm mmm kisses sweeter than wine

Sweeter than wine

Well we worked very hard both me and my wife

Workin' hand in hand to have a good life

We had corn in the field and wheat in the bin

And then whoops so lord I was the father of twins

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine

She had mmm mmm kisses sweeter than wine

Sweeter than wine

Well our children they numbered just about four

And they all had a sweetheart a'knockin' on the door

They all got married and they wouldn't hesitate

I was whoops so lord the grandfather of eight

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine

She had mmm mmm kisses sweeter than wine

Sweeter than wine

Well now that I'm old and I'm already to go

I get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago

Had a lot of kids a lot of trouble and pain

But then whoops so lordy well I'd do it all again

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine

She had mmm mmm kisses sweeter than wine

Kisses sweeter than wine jimmy rogers
