[Chorus]
Oh-oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh-oh, kisses sweeter than wine

[Verse 1]
When I was a young man and never been kissed
I got to thinking over what I had missed
Found me a woman, I kissed her and then
Oh Lord, I kissed her again

[Chorus]
Oh-oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh-oh, kisses sweeter than wine

[Verse 2]
He asked me would I marry and be his sweet wife
And we would be so happy the all of our life
He begged and he pleaded like a natural man
And then, oh Lord, I gave him my hand

[Chorus]
Oh-oh, kissеs sweeter than wine
Oh-oh, kisses sweetеr than wine

[Banjo Solo]
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh-oh, kisses sweeter than wine

[Verse 3]
I worked mighty hard and so did my wife
Working hand in hand to make a good life
Corn in the field, wheat in the bin
I was, oh Lord, the father of twins

[Chorus]
Oh-oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh-oh, kisses sweeter than wine

[Verse 4]
Our children they numbered just about four
They all had sweethearts knockin' at the door
They all got married and they didn't hesitate
I was, oh Lord, the grandmother of eight

[Chorus]
Oh-oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh-oh, kisses sweeter than wine

[Verse 5]
Now we are old and ready to go
We got to thinkin' what happened a long time ago
We had a lotta kids, trouble and pain
But, oh Lord, we'd do it again
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh-oh, kisses sweeter than wine

[Outro]
I have to admit
It's almost a relief to have this thing finally out of the closet
Johnny needs a transfusion
They take blood from his finger (Oh-oh)
And pump it into his heart (Kisses sweeter than wine)
What to do? (Oh-oh)
Nobody wants to (Kisses sweeter than wine)
But we have to call Dr. Grey
What to do? (Oh-oh)
Nothing—just love (Kisses sweeter than wine)
