When he was a young man, he'd never been kissed
he got to thinking it over how much I had missed
So he got me girl and he kissed her and then,
Guess what, well he kissed her again
Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mmm-mmm kisses sweeter than wine
Well he asked her to marry and to be his sweet wife
he told her they'd be so happy for the rest of our life
he begged and he pleaded like a natural man
And then, guess what, she gave him her hand
Well they worked very hard both him and his wife
Working hand-in-hand to have a good life
They had corn in the field and wheat in the bin
And then, guess what, he was the father of twins
Well their children they numbered just about four
And they all had a sweetheart knocking on the door
They all got married and they wouldn't hesitate
He was, guess what, the grandfather of eight
Well now that he's old and he's ready to go
He gets to thinking what happened a long time ago
Had a lot of kids, a lot of trouble and pain
But then, guess what, well he'd do it all again
Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mmm-mmm kisses sweeter than wine
