Kisses Sweeter Than Wine

(performed by jackson browne and bonnie raitt on the pete seeger tribute album where have all the flowers gone;1998)



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...
