When I was a young man and never been kissed
Em A Bm
I got to thinking it over what I had missed
A G A
I got me a girl, I kissed her and then
F#m Bm
Oh Lord, I kissed her again
Bm A Bm F#m Bsus4 B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Bm F#m Bm F#m Bsus4 B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Bm A G F#m
I asked her to marry and be my sweet wife
Em A Bm
And we would be so happy the rest of our lives
A G A
I begged and I pleaded like a natural man
F#m Bm
And then, Oh Lord, she gave me her hand
Bm A Bm F#m Bsus4 B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Bm F#m Bm F#m Bsus4 B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Bm A G F#m
I worked mighty hard and so did my wife
Em A Bm
Workin' hand in hand to make a good life
A G A
With corn in the field and wheat in the bins
F#m Bm
I was, Oh Lord, the father of twins
Bm A Bm F#m Bsus4 B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Bm F#m Bm F#m Bsus4 B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Bm A G F#m
Our children they numbered just about four
Em A Bm
They all had sweethearts knockin' at the door
A G A
They all got married and they didn't hesitate;
F#m Bm
I was, Oh Lord, the grandmother of eight
Bm A Bm F#m Bsus4 B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Bm F#m Bm F#m Bsus4 B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Bm A G F#m
Now that we're old, and ready to go
Em A Bm
We get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago
A G A
We had a lot of kids, trouble and pain
F#m Bm
But, Oh Lord, We'd do it again
Bm A Bm F#m Bsus4 B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Bm F#m Bm F#m Bsus4 B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
