“Kisses Sweeter Than Wine” is the Peace Song for the Day for Thursday, October 6th. Paul Campbell of The Weavers put reworked lyrics to a Huddie Ledbetter tune. You can find the lyrics for “Kisses Sweeter Than Wine” in the Rise Up Singing songbook on page 225.

Excerpt:

…Well now that I’m old and I’m a’ready to go
I get to thinkin’ what happened a long time ago
Had a lot of kids, a lot of trouble and pain
But then, whoops oh lordy, well I’d do it all again
* * *

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mmm…kisses…sweeter…than…wine
