Here's one of my all-time favorite songs. You may see it credited to "Paul
Campbell" in some places, but that was the standard pseudonym of The
Weavers. You can change the lyrics around to conform to the gender (or
genders) of the person singing.

KISSES SWEETER THAN WINE
by Lee Hayes (of The Weavers)


     E       D             C          D
When I was a young man and never been kissed
         Bm            E
I got to thinking over what I had missed
E        D          C              D
Got me a girl and I kissed her and then
Bm          E
Oh, Lord, I kissed her again

G   D   C      Bm           E
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
G   D   C      Bm           E
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine

I asked her would she marry and be my sweet wife
And we would be so happy all of our lives
I begged and I pleaded like a natural man and then
Oh, Lord, she gave me her hand

Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine

I worked mighty hard and so did my wife
We worked hand in hand to make a good life
There was corn in the fields and wheat in the bins and I was
Oh, Lord, the father of twins

Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine

Our children numbered just about four
They all had sweethearts a-knocking at the door
They all got married and they didn't hesitate, I was
Oh, Lord, granfather of eight

Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine

Now I am old and ready to go
I get to thinking what happened a long time ago
I had a lot of kids, a lot of trouble and pain, but
Oh, Lord, I'd do it again

Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
