作词 : Rudolph Toombs

Got to wed her right now, or face a slaughter

A mint julep, a mint julep

A mint julep, a mint julep

I got six extra children from a getting-frisky

I'm through with flirting and drinking whiskey

But from now on I'll be thinking double

Now, I don't want to bore you with my troubles

One mint julep was the cause of it all

A mint julep, a mint julep

A mint julep, a mint julep

I had to marry or face ruin

I didn't know just what I was doing

He said, I saw you when you kissed my daughter

Went through the kitchen door up popped her father

The lights were burning low, there in the parlor

One mint julep was the cause of it all

I didn't mean to take it further

I stole a kiss and then another

But all I know is we should have parted

I don't remember just how I started

One mint julep was the cause of it all

But all I had was a mint julep

I took her home to get a few nips

I met a woman, we started talking

One early morning as I was walking

One mint julep was the cause of it all
