About the Song
"Kisses Sweeter than Wine" is a popular love song written by The Weavers in 1950, and a hit for Jimmie Rodgers in 1957 and Frankie Vaughan in 1958. In his 1993 book Where Have All The Flowers Gone, Pete Seeger described the long genesis of this song. Apparently the folk musician Lead Belly heard Irish performer Sam Kennedy in Greenwich Village singing the traditional Irish song "Drimmin Down" aka "Drimmen Dow", about a farmer and his dead cow. Lead Belly adapted the tune for his own farmer/cow song "If it Wasn't for Dicky" which he first recorded in 1937. Leadbelly did not like the lack of rhythm, which had been a part of many free flowing Irish songs, so he made the piece more rhythmic, playing the chorus with a 12-string guitar. Seeger liked Lead Belly's version of the tune, and his chords. After his group The Weavers hit version of Lead Belly's "Goodnight Irene" in 1950 they were looking for new material. Seeger and Lee Hays wrote new lyrics (Hays wrote all new verses, Seeger re-wrote Lead Belly's chorus), turning it into a love song. It was published in 1951 and recorded by The Weavers on June 12, 1951 in New York City for Decca Records (catalog number 27670[1]). It made #19 on the US Hit Parade.    Download this sheet!
