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



CHORUS

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 Oh Lordy, Well She Gave Me Her Hand



CHORUS



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



CHORUS



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 Oh Lord, The Grandfather Of Eight



CHORUS



Well Now That I'm Old And I'm A'ready 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 Oh Lordy, Well I'd Do It All Again



Because She Had Kisses Sweeter Than Wine

She Had, Mmm?kisses?sweeter?than?wine
