One early morning, as I was walking
I met a woman, we started talking
I took her home to get a few nips
All I had was one 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 go any further

One mint julep was the cause of it all

Now the lights were turned down low in the parlor
When from the kitchen door, up popped her father
He says, "I saw you when you kissed my daughter
I've got a will writing now, all things for her"

A mint julep, a mint julep
A mint julep, one mint julep
A mint julep, a mint julep
A mint julep, one mint julep

One mint julep was the cause of it all

Work, work, work
I don't wanna bore you with my troubles
But from now on I'll be thinking double
I'm through with the flirting and drinking whiskey
I've got six extra children from a-getting frisky

A mint julep, a mint julep
A mint julep, one mint julep

One mint julep was the cause of it all
