(Gilbert/Hays/Hellerman/Newman/Seeger) When I was a young man and never been kissed I got to thinking it over what I had missed. I got me a girl, I kissed her and then Oh Lord, I kissed her again. [Chorus:] Oh, kisses sweeter than wine, Oh, kisses sweeter than wine I asked her to marry and be my sweet wife, And we would be so happy the rest of our lives. I begged and I pleaded like a natural man, And then, Oh Lord, she gave me her hand. [Chorus] I worked mighty hard and so did my wife, Workin' hand in hand to make a good life. With corn in the field and wheat in the bins, I was, Oh Lord, the father of twins. [Chorus] Our children they numbered just about four, SongtexteThey all had sweethearts knockin' at the door. They all got married and they didn't hesitate; I was, Oh Lord, the grandmother of eight. [Chorus] Now that we're old, and ready to go, We get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago. We had a lot of kids, trouble and pain, But, Oh Lord, We'd do it again. (Chorus) Aus Songtexte Mania
