Kisses Sweeter Than Wine, O.S.T.: Folk-Song And Cabaret Seem To Make Good Marriages - Marlene Dietrich

Well once was a young man he’ve never been kissed

He got to thinkin' it over how much he had missed

So he found a girl, he kissed her and then

Wouldn’t you know — he kissed her again because

She had kisses sweeter than wine

She had uh-uh kisses sweeter than wine

(sweeter than wine)

He asked her to marry and be his good wife

He told her they could be so happy for the rest of their life

He begged a lot of people like a natural man and then

Wouldn’t you know — she gave him a hand because

She had kisses sweeter than wine

She had uh-uh kisses sweeter than wine

He worked mighty hard and so did his wife

Working hand in hand to make a good life

They had corn in the field and meat in the bin

Wouldn’t you know — he was the father of twins because

She had kisses sweeter than wine

She had uh-uh kisses sweeter than wine

Their children they number just about four

And they all have a sweetheart a-knockin' at the door

They all got married and they didn’t hesitate

Before a long he was the grandfather of eight because

She had kisses sweeter than wine

She had uh-uh kisses sweeter than wine

Now he’s old and ready to go He gets to thinkin' what happened a long time ago

They had a lot of kids, and trouble and pain

But you can bet your life — he’d do it all again because

She had kisses sweeter than wine

She had uh-uh kisses sweeter than wine

It’s clear to see — she had kisses sweeter than wine
