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
