Kisses Sweeter Than Wine - Terry Gilkyson, Pete Seeger, The Weavers

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, mmmkissessweeterthanwine
