One Mint Julep

One Mint Julep - The Clovers

Written by：Rudolph Toombs

One early mornin'

As I was walkin'

I met a woman

We started talkin'

I took her home to

Get a few nips

But all I had was

J mint julep

One mint julep

Was the 'cause of it all

I don't remember

Just how it started

I only 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

The lights were burning low

There in the parlor

When through the kitchen door

Up popped her father

He said I saw you when

You kissed my daughter

Better wed her right now

Or face a slaughter'

I didn't know just

What I was doin'

I had to marry

Or face ruin

A mint julep

A mint julep

A mint julep

A mint julep

One mint julep

Was the 'cause of it all

Now I want to bore you

With my troubles

But from now on

I'll be thinkin' double

I'm through with flirtin' and

Drinkin' whiskey

I got six extra children

From a gettin' frisky

A mint julep

A mint julep

A mint julep

A mint julep

One mint julep

Was the 'cause of it all
