When I was a young man and never been kissed,

 I got to thinking over what I had missed.

Oh, Lord, I kissed her again.

VERSE 2:
I asked her to marry me and be my sweet wife,
and we would be so happy for all of our life.
I begged and I pleaded like a natural man, and
then,
Oh, Lord, she gave me her hand.
(CHORUS)

VERSE 3:
I worked mighty 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 then, oh, Lord, I was the Father of twins.
(CHORUS)

VERSE 4:
Our children numbered just about four
And they all had sweethearts knock on the door.
They all got married and they didn't wait,
I was, oh, Lord, the Grandfather of eight.
(CHORUS)

VERSE 5:
Now we are old and ready tog o
We get to thinking what happened a long time ago.
We had lots of kids and trouble and pain,
But, oh, Lord, we'd do it again.
(CHORUS)
