|
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) |
