| Song | Kisses Sweeter Than Wine |
| Artist | The Weavers |
| Album | The best of the Decca years |
| Well, when I was a young man never been kissed | |
| I got to thinkin' it over how much I had missed | |
| So I got me a girl and I kissed her and then, and then | |
| Oh, lordy, well I kissed 'er again | |
| CHORUS | |
| Because she had kisses sweeter than wine | |
| She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine | |
| (Sweeter than wine) | |
| Well I asked her to marry and to be my sweet wife | |
| I told her we'd be so happy for the rest of our life | |
| I begged and I pleaded like a natural man | |
| And then, whoops oh lordy, well she gave me her hand | |
| CHORUS | |
| Well we worked very hard both me and my wife | |
| Workin' hand-in-hand to have a good life | |
| We had corn in the field and wheat in the bin | |
| And then, whoops oh lord, I was the father of twins | |
| CHORUS | |
| Well our children they numbered just about four | |
| And they all had a sweetheart a'knockin' on the door | |
| They all got married and they wouldn't hesitate | |
| I was, whoops oh lord, the grandfather of eight | |
| CHORUS | |
| Well 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, whoops oh lordy, well I'd do it all again | |
| Because she had kisses sweeter than wine | |
| She had, mmm�kisses�sweeter�than�wine |
