One Mint Julep Lyrics
One early mornin', as I was walkin'
I met a woman, and started talkin'
Went in a tavern, to get a few nips
And all I had was a 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
Oh, he lights were burning low, there in the tavern
When through the swingin' door, up jumped her father
He said 'I saw you when you kissed my daughter
Got to 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 listen, I don't want to bore you uh, with all my troubles
But uh, from now on I'll be thinkin' double
And I'll buy her roses, and maybe- maybe tulips
I've got too much trouble from buying juleps!

I don't remember just how it started
But all I know is we should have parted
A mint julep, a mint julep
A mint julep, a mint julep
One mint julep
Yes, one mint julep
Was the cause of it all!
