When I was a young man and never been kissed I got to thinking over what I had missed. I got me a girl, I kissed her and then.     Oh Lord ! I kissed her again. Oh  oho !  Kisses sweeter than wine Oh  oho !  Kisses sweeter than wine   He asked me to marry and be his sweet wife And we would be so happy the rest of our life. He begged and he pleaded like a natural man, and than, Oh Lord ! I gave him my hand. I worked mighly hard and so did my wife, A working hand in hand to make a good life With corn in the fields and wheat in the bins and Oh Lord ! I was the father of twins. Our children numbered just about four And they all had sweet hearts knocking at the door. They all got married and didn't hesitate, I was Oh Lord ! The grandmother of eight. Now we are old and ready to go We get to thinking what happened a long time ago. We had a lot of kids, trouble and pain, but Oh Lord ! We'd do it again

La chanson évoque le parcours d'une vie remplie d'amour et de souvenirs. Elle commence par le récit d'un jeune homme qui, après son premier baiser, découvre la douceur des câlins et décide de s'engager dans une relation. Au fil des années, il évoque son mariage, les joies et les peines de la vie de couple, ainsi que les défis du travail quotidien pour bâtir un foyer, notamment avec la naissance de jumeaux et d'autres enfants. En regardant en arrière, il se remémore chaque moment, malgré les difficultés rencontrées, avec un sentiment de gratitude et de bonheur, souhaitant même revivre cette vie qu'il a tant aimée.
