One Mint Julep - The Clovers

[00:10.936]One early morning, as I was walking
[00:15.281]I met a woman, we started talking
[00:19.885]I took her home to get a few nips
[00:24.265]But all I had was a mint julep
[00:28.605]One mint julep was the cause of it all
[00:37.839]I don't remember just how it started
[00:42.458]I only know that we should have parted
[00:47.885]I stole a kiss and then another
[00:51.410]I didn't mean to take it further
[00:55.769]One mint julep was the cause of it all
[01:04.496]The lights were burning low, there in the parlor
[01:08.847]When through the kitchen door, up popped her father
[01:13.203]He said, I saw you when you kissed my daughter
[01:17.312]Better wed her right now or face a slaughter
[01:22.942]I didn't know just what I was doing
[01:27.821]I had to marry or face ruin
[01:32.441]A mint julep, a mint julep
[01:37.073]A mint julep, a mint julep
[01:40.911]One mint julep was the cause of it all
[01:49.650]Now, I don't want to bore you with my troubles
[01:54.264]But from now on I'll be thinking double
[01:58.621]I'm through with flirting and drinking whiskey
[02:02.975]I got six extra children from a getting frisky
[02:07.598]A mint julep, a mint julep
[02:12.203]A mint julep, a mint julep
[02:16.572]One mint julep was the cause of it all
