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

2 Jackson:

3 When I was a young man I'd never been kissed;

4 I got to thinking about what I had missed.

5 I found a girl. I kissed her and then...

6 Oh lord, I kissed her again.

7 Together:

8 Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.

9 Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.

10 Bonnie:

11 He asked me to marry and be his sweet wife;

12 We would be happy -- all of our life.

13 He begged and he pleaded like a natural man, and then...

14 Oh lord, I gave him my hand.

15 Together:

16 Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.

17 Oooooh, kisses...

18 Jackson:

19 I worked mighty hard and so did my wife;

20 Working hand in hand to make a good life.

21 Corn in the field and wheat in the bins, and then...

22 Oh lord, I was the father of twins.

23 Together:

24 Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.

25 Oooooh, kisses...

26 Bonnie:

27 Our children numbered just about four

28 And they all had sweethearts knocking on the door.

29 They all got married and they didn't wait, I was...

30 Oh lord! a grandmother of eight!

31 Together:

32 Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.

33 Oooooh, kisses...

34 Jackson:

35 Now we are old and ready to go

36 Thinking about what happened a long time ago.

37 Bonnie:

38 We had lots of kids and trouble and pain, but...

39 Oh lord, we'd do it again.

40 Together:

41 Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.

42 Oooooh, kisses...

43 Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.

44 Oooooh, kisses...
