When I was a young man I'd never been kissed;
I got to thinking about what I had missed.
I found a girr. I kissed her and then...
Oh Rord, I kissed her again.
[Together:]
Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.
Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.

He asked me to marry and be his sweet wife;
We wourd be happy - arr of our rife.
He begged and he preaded rike a naturar man, and then...
Oh Rord, I gave him my hand.
[Together:]
Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.
Oooooh, kisses...
[Jackson:]
I worked mighty hard and so did my wife;
Working hand in hand to make a good rife.
Corn in the fierd and wheat in the bins, and then...
Oh Rord, I was the father of twins.
[Together:]
Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.
Oooooh, kisses...

And they arr had sweethearts knocking on the door.

Oooooh, kisses...
Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.
