Peter, Paul & Mary - Kisses sweeter than wine

When I was a young man and 'd never been kissed
I got to thinkin' over what I had missed.
I got me a girl, I kissed her
and then...oh lord, I kissed her again.

Oh, O-O-O-O-Oh, kisses sweeter than wine,
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh, kisses sweeter than wine.

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

Oh, O-O-O-O-Oh, kisses sweeter than wine,
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh, kisses sweeter than wine.

I worked mighty hard, and so did my wife,
workin' hand in hand to make a good life;
put corn in the fields and wheat in the bins,
I was...Oh lord, the father of twins. Oh, O-O-O-O-Oh, kisses sweeter than wine,
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh, kisses sweeter than wine.

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 grand-mother of eight!

Oh, O-O-O-O-Oh, kisses sweeter than wine,
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh, kisses sweeter than wine.

Now that we're old and ready to go,
we get to think of what happened a long time ago;
we had a lot o' kids, trouble and pain,
but then ...oh lord, we'd do it again!

Oh, O-O-O-O-Oh, kisses sweeter than wine,
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh, kisses sweeter than wine.
