[Verse 1]
F C Dm C
When I was a young man and never been kissed
Am D
I got to thinking over what I had missed
F C Dm C
Got me a girl and I kissed her and then
Am D
Oh, Lord, I kissed her again
[Chorus]
F C Dm Am D
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
F C Dm Am D
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
[Verse 2]
F C Dm C
I asked her would she marry and be my sweet wife
Am D
And we would be so happy all of our lives
F C Dm C
I begged and I pleaded like a natural man and then
Am D
Oh, Lord, she gave me her hand
[Chorus]
F C Dm Am D
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
F C Dm Am D
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
[Verse 3]
F C Dm C
I worked mighty hard and so did my wife
Am D
We worked hand in hand to make a good life
F C Dm C
There was corn in the fields and wheat in the bins and I was
Am D
Oh, Lord, the father of twins
[Chorus]
F C Dm Am D
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
F C Dm Am D
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
[Verse 4]
F C Dm C
Our children numbered just about four
Am D
They all had sweethearts a-knocking at the door
F C Dm C
They all got married and they didn't hesitate, I was
Am D
Oh, Lord, grandfather of eight
[Chorus]
F C Dm Am D
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
F C Dm Am D
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
[Verse 5]
F C Dm C
Now I am old and ready to go
Am D
I get to thinking what happened a long time ago
F C Dm C
I had a lot of kids, a lot of trouble and pain, but
Am D
Oh, Lord, I'd do it again
[Chorus]
F C Dm Am D
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
F C Dm Am D
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
