When I was a young girl and never been kissed
I got to thinking it over how much I had missed
So I got me a man and he kissed and then
And then oh God, he kissed me again
And he had kisses sweeter than wine
He had oh-oh, kisses sweeter than wine
We worked very hard both me and my man
We worked hand in hand to have a good land
We had corn in the field and wheat in the bins
But then oh-oh, the mother of twins
And he had kisses sweeter than wine
He had oh-oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Now that I'm old and I'm ready to go
Thinkin' of what happened a long time ago
Had a lot of kids, a lot trouble and pain
And then mm-mm, I'd do it again.
Because he had kisses sweeter than wine
He had oh-oh, kisses sweeter than wine
When I was a young girl and never been kissed
I got to thinking it over how much I had missed
I got a man and he kissed me and then
And then oh-oh, he kissed her again
And he had kisses sweeter than wine
He had oh-oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Kisses sweeter than wine
He had no-no, kisses sweeter than…
When I was a young girl and never been kissed
I got to thinking it over how much I had missed
So I got a man and he kissed and then
And then oh God, he kissed me again
And he had kisses sweeter than wine
He had oh-oh, kisses sweeter than wine
He asked me to marry and be my sweet wife
He said we'd be so happy the rest of our lives
He begged and he pleaded like a natural man
And then, oh God, I gave him my hand
And he had kisses sweeter than wine
He had oh-oh, kisses sweeter than wine
And he had kisses sweeter than wine
He had oh-oh, kisses sweeter….
Well now that we're old and ready to go
I get to thinkin' of what happened a long time ago
Well I had a lot of kids, a lot trouble and pain
But then oh God, I'd do it again.
And he had kisses sweeter than wine
He had oh-oh, kisses sweeter…
He had oh-oh, kisses sweeter than wine
He had oh-oh, kisses sweeter…
Now I'm old and I'm ready to go
I get to thinkin' of what happened a long time ago
Well I had a lot of kids, a lot trouble and pain
Oh God, I'd do it again.
And he had kisses sweeter than wine
He had oh-no, kisses sweeter…
