Kisses Sweeter Than Wine
(Weavers)

CGAmG
When I was a young man and never been kissed, I
EmAm
got the thinkin' it over, what I had missed. I
CGAmG
got me a girl and kissed her and then, And then,
EmAm
oh Lord, I kissed her again, because...
[chorus]:
    CEmAm
     She had kisses sweeter than wine.
    CEmAm
    She had oh, oh, kisses sweeter than
    wine.
CGAmG
He asked me to marry and be his sweet wife, And
EmAmC
we would be happy all of our lives. He begged
GAmGEm
and he pleaded like a natural man, And then, oh
Am
Lord, I gave him my hand, because...
     
[chorus]
CGAmG
I worked mighty hard and so did my wife, Workin'
EmAmC
hand in hand to make a good life. Corn in the
GAmGEm
field and wheat in the bins, I was, oh Lord, the
Am
father of twins, because...
[chorus]
CGAmG
Our children numbered just about four, And they
EmAm
all had their sweethearts knockin' at the door.
CGAmG
They all got married and didn't hesitate, I was,
EmAm
oh Lord, the grandfather of eight, because...
[chorus]
CGAmG
Now we are old and ready to go, I get to
EmAmC
thinkin' what happened a long time ago. Had lots
     
GAmGEm
of kids and trouble and pain, But then, oh Lord,
Am
I'd do it again, because...
[chorus]
