#121 # As Performed by Peter, Paul and Mary; also The Weavers {title:Kisses Sweeter Than Wine} {st:Paul Campbell, Joel Newman} When [F]I was a [C]young man and [Dm]never been [C]kissed, I got to [Am]thinking it [C]over and [Dm]what I had missed. I [F]got me a [C]gal and I [Dm]kissed her and [C]then, Oh, [Am]Lord, I [Dm]kissed her again. {c:Chorus:} [F]Oh [C]oh k[Dm]isses s[Am]weeter than w[D]ine, [F]Oh [C]oh k[Dm]isses s[Am]weeter than w[D]ine. I asked her to marry and be my sweet wife, 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. {c:Chorus.} I worked mighty hard and so did my wife, Working hand in hand to make a good life. With corn in the field and wheat in the bin, I was, oh Lord, the father of twins. {c:Chorus.} Our children numbered just about four, And they all had sweethearts knockin' at the door. They all got married and they didn't hesitate, I was, oh Lord, grandfather of eight. {c:Chorus.} Now we are old and ready to go, We get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago. Had a lot of kids, trouble and pain, But, oh Lord, we'd do it again. {c:Chorus.} # # Submitted to the ftp.nevada.edu:/pub/guitar archives # by Steve Putz# 7 September 1992
