When I was a young man I'd never been kissed
I got to thinking of how much I had missed
I got me a girl. I kissed her and then, then
Oh Lord, I kissed her again

She had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mmmmmm, kisses sweeter than wine

Well I asked her to marry and be my sweet wife
And we would be so happy to rest of our life
I begged and I pleaded like a natural man, and then
Oh Lord, she gave me her hand

She had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mmmmmm, kisses sweeter than wine

I worked very hard both me and my wife
Working hand in hand to make a good life
With corn in the fields and wheat in the bins, and then
Oh Lord, I was the father of twins

She had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mmmmmm, kisses sweeter than wine

Well now I'm alone and I'm ready to go
I gotta thinking what happened a long time ago
We had lots of kids and trouble and pain, but
Oh Lord, I'd do it again, because
She had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mmmmmm, kisses sweeter than wine
Sweeter than wine
Sweeter than wine
