| One early mornin', as I was walkin'
|
| I met a woman, we started talkin'
|
| I took her home to get a few nips
|
| But all I had was a mint julep
|
| One mint julep was the cause of it all
|
| I don’t remember just how it 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 doin'
|
| I had to marry or 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 thinkin' double
|
| I’m through with flirtin' and drinkin' whiskey
|
| I got six extra children from a-gettin' frisky
|
| A mint julep, a mint julep
|
| A mint julep, a mint julep
|
| One mint julep was the cause of it all |
