There once was a young man

who'd never been kissed

He's got to thinkin' it over

how much he had missed

So he got me a girl and he
kissed her and then, and then
Oh, lord, well he kissed 'er again
Because she had kisses
sweeter than wine

She had, mmm, mmm,
kisses sweeter than wine

Well he asked her to marry
and to be his good wife
He told her we'd be so happy
for the rest of his life
He begged and he
pleaded like a natural man
And then, whoops oh lord,
well she gave him her hand
Because she had kisses
sweeter than wine

She had, mmm, mmm,
kisses 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 oh lord,
I was the father of twins
Because she had kisses
sweeter than wine
She had, mmm, mmm,
kisses sweeter than wine
Well their 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
He was, whoops oh lord
the grandfather of eight
Because she had kisses
sweeter than wine
She had, mmm, mmm,
kisses sweeter than wine

Well now that he's old
and he's already to go

He get to thinkin' what
happened a long time ago

Had a lot of kids,
a lot of trouble and pain

But then, whoops oh lord,
well he'd do it all again
Because she had
kisses sweeter than wine

She had, mmm?
kisses'sweeter'than?wine  ......
