One Mint Julep |
One early morning, as I was walking |
I met a woman, we started talking |
I took her home, to get a few nips |
But all I had was a mint julep |
I don’t remember just how I started |
I only know that we should have parted |
I stole a kiss, and then another |
I didn’t mean to take it further |
One mint julep was the cause of it all |
The lights were burning low, there in the parlor |
When through the kitchen door, up popped her father |
He said «I saw you when you kissed my daughter |
Better wed her right now, or face a slaughter!» |
I didn’t know just what I was doing |
I had to marry of face ruin |
A mint julep, a mint julep |
A mint julep, a mint julep |
One mint julep was the cause of it all |
Now, I don’t want to bore you with my troubles |
But from now on I’ll be thinking double |
I’m through with flirting and drinking whiskey |
I got six extra children from a-getting frisky |
A mint julep, a mint julep |
A mint julep, a mint julep |
One mint julep was the cause of it all |
