Lyrics
Pick up to six lines to make a card.
One early morning as I was walking
I met a woman and started talking
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, the lights were burning low
There in the tavern when
Through the swinging door
Up jumped the father
He said, "I saw you when
You kissed my daughter
Got the winner right now
Or face the slaughter"
I didn't know just what I was doing
I had to marry or face ruin
A mint julep, 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 with all my troubles
But from now on I'll be thinking 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
