One early morning, as I was walkingI met a woman, we started talkingI took her home, to get a few nipsBut all I had was a mint julepI don't remember just how I startedI only know that we should have partedI stole a kiss, and then anotherI didn't mean to take it furtherOne mint julep was the cause of it allThe lights were burning low, there in the parlorWhen through the kitchen door, up popped her fatherHe said "I saw you when you kissed my daughterBetter wed her right now, or face a slaughter!"I didn't know just what I was doingI had to marry of face ruinA mint julep, a mint julepA mint julep, a mint julepOne mint julep was the cause of it allNow, I don't want to bore you with my troublesBut from now on I'll be thinking doubleI'm through with flirting and drinking whiskeyI got six extra children from a-getting friskyA mint julep, a mint julepA mint julep, a mint julepOne mint julep was the cause of it all From Letras Mania
