美国乡村音乐:Kisses Sweeter Than Wine

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 lord¹, 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 pleaded² like a natural man,
And then, oh lord, she gave me her hand.

(chorus)

I worked mighty³ 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,
They 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.
