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
Mint julep
One mint julep
Was the cause of it all
I don't remember
Just how it started
But all I know is
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
Got to wed her right now
Or face the slaughter"
A mint julep
A mint julep
A mint julep
A mint julep
One mint julep
Was the cause of it all
I don't want to bore you
With my troubles
But from now on
I'll be thinking double
I'm through with flirtin'
And drinkin' whiskey
I got six extra children
From a-getting frisky
One mint julep
A mint julep
A mint julep
A mint julep
One mint julep
Was the cause of it all
