C G Am G
When I was a young man and never been kissed,
Em Am
I got the thinkin' it over, what I had missed.
C G Am G
I got me a girl and kissed her and then,
Em Am
And then, oh Lord, I kissed her again.
<chorus>:
C Em Am
She had kisses sweeter than wine.
C Em Am
She had oh, oh, kisses sweeter than wine.
C G Am G
He asked me to marry and be his sweet wife,
Em Am
And we would be happy all of our lives.
C G Am G
He begged and he pleaded like a natural man,
Em Am
And then, oh Lord, I gave him my hand.
<chorus>
C G Am G
I worked mighty hard and so did my wife,
|
Em Am
Workin' hand in hand to make a good life.
C G Am G
Corn in the field and wheat in the bins,
Em Am
I was, oh Lord, the father of twins.
<chorus>
C G Am G
Our children numbered just about four,
Em Am
And they all had their sweethearts knockin' at the door.
C G Am G
They all got married and didn't hesitate,
Em Am
I was, oh Lord, the grandfather of eight.
<chorus>
C G Am G
Now we are old and ready to go,
Em Am
I get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago.
C G Am G
Had lots of kids and trouble and pain,
Em Am
But then, oh Lord, I'd do it again.
<chorus>
