Kisses Sweeter Than Wine
Jimmy Rogers
Well, when I was a young man never been kissed
I got to thinkin’ it over how much I’d missed
So, I got me a girl and I kissed her and then, and then
Oh lordy well I kissed her again because
She had mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine
(Sweeter than wine)
Well, I asked her to marry and be my sweet wife
I told her we’d be so happy for the rest of our life
I begged her and I pleaded like a natural man
And then, whoops oh lordy, well she gave me her hand, because
Repeat 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, wheat in the bin
And then, whoops oh lord, I was the father of twins, because
Repeat Chorus
Well, our children they numbered just about four
And they all had a sweetheart a’knockin’ at the door
They all got married and they didn’t hesitate
I was, whoops oh lord, the grandfather of eight, because
Repeat 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…
