When I was a young man and never been kissed
I got to thinking it over what I had missed.
I got me a girl, I kissed her and then
Oh Lord, I kissed her again.
[Chorus:]
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine,
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine.
I asked her to marry and be my sweet wife,
And we would be so happy all of our life.
I begged and I pleaded like a natural man, and then
Oh Lord, she gave me her hand.
[Chorus]
I worked mighty hard and so did my wife,
Workin' hand in hand to make a good life.
Corn in the field and wheat in the bins, I was
Oh Lord, the father of twins.
[Chorus]
Our children numbered just about four,
And they all had sweethearts knockin' at the door.
The all got married and didn't hesitate; I was
Oh Lord, the grandfather of eight.
[Chorus]
Now we are old, and ready to go,
We get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago.
Had a lot of kids, trouble and pain, but,
Oh Lord, we'd do it again.
[Chorus]
Pete Seeger (1919-2014) was an American singer, musician, and activist renowned worldwide. Born in New York to a family of artists, Seeger distinguished himself for his powerful voice and social commitment. He began his career in the 1930s with folk groups like The Almanac Singers, promoting themes of social justice and fighting against injustices. During the 1950s, Seeger became a symbol of American folk music, influencing generations of artists with his direct and engaging style. His most famous song, "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?", became an anthem for peace and against war. He also contributed to the birth of the environmental movement in the 1960s with songs like "If I Had a Hammer". Seeger was often criticized for his political views during the Cold War but remained an icon of American folk music until his death in 2014. Among his most important albums are "American Industrial Ballads" (1956) and "Rainbow Race" (1963). Some of his most representative songs are: "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?", "If I Had a Hammer", "Turn! Turn! Turn!" and "Guantanamera".
