[Verse 1]
Well, when I was a young man and never been kissed
I got to thinking 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

[Chorus]
Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had uh, uh, kisses sweeter than wine

[Verse 2]
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 pleaded like a natural man
And then whups oh Lordy, well she gave me her hand

[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Well, we worked very hard both me and my wife
A working hand in hand to have a good life
We had corn in the fields and whaet in the bins
And then whups oh Lord I was the father of twins

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Well, our children then numbered just about four
And they all had the sweethearts a knocking at the door
They all got married and they wouldn't hesitate
I was whups oh Lord the grandfather of eight
[Chorus]

[Verse 5]
Well, now that I'm old and ready to go
We get to thinking what happened a long time ago
Had a lotta kids a lotta trouble and pain
But then whups oh Lord we'd do it all again

[Chorus]
