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
But all I know is
We shall have parted..
I stole a kiss..
And then another
I didn't mean to..
Take it further..
Oh 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..
Woh 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..
Woh mint julep..
Was the cause of it all....
