[Jackson:]

When I was a young man I'd never been kissed;
I got to thinking about what I had missed
I found a girl I kissed her and then
Oh Lord, I kissed her again

[Together:]

Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine

[Bonnie:]

He asked me to marry and be his sweet wife;
We would be happy - all of our life
He begged and he pleaded like a natural man, and then
Oh Lord, I gave him my hand

[Together:]

Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oooooh, kisses

[Jackson:]

I worked mighty hard and so did my wife;
Working hand in hand to make a good life
Corn in the field and wheat in the bins, and then
Oh Lord, I was the father of twins

[Together:]

Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oooooh, kisses

[Bonnie:]

Our children numbered just about four
And they all had sweethearts knocking on the door
They all got married and they didn't wait, I was
Oh Lord! A grandmother of eight!

[Together:]

Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oooooh, kisses

[Jackson:]

Now we are old and ready to go
Thinking about what happened a long time ago

[Bonnie:]

We had lots of kids and trouble and pain, but
Oh Lord, we'd do it again

[Together:]
Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oooooh, kisses
Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oooooh, kisses
