Kisses Sweeter Than Wine
Tune: Led Belly words Jimmie Rodgers
C: O- oh, kisses sweeter than wine
O- oh, kisses sweeter than wine
When I was a young man never been kissed
I got to thinkin' it over what I had missed
I got me a girl and I kissed her and then,
Oh, lord, I kissed 'er again
C:
I asked her to marry and be my sweet wife
and we'd 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
C:
We worked very hard both me and my wife
Workin' hand-in-hand to have a good life
corn in the field and wheat in the bin
I was oh lord a father of twins
C:
our children they numbered just about four
they all had sweethearts a'knockin' on the door
They all got married and wouldn't hesitate
I was, oh lord, grandfather of eight
C:
now that I'm old and I'm a'ready to go
I get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago
Had a lot of kids, a lot of trouble and pain
But then, oh lord, I'd do it all again
C:
