| One early morning as | |
| I was walking | |
| I met a woman, we started talking | |
| I took her home to get a few nips | |
| But all I had was a mint julep | |
| I don’t remember just how | |
| I startedI only know that 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 doing, | |
| 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 don’t want to bore you with my troubles | |
| But from now on | |
| I’ll be thinking double | |
| I’m through with flirting and drinking whiskey | |
| I got six extra children from a-getting frisky | |
| A mint julep, a mint julep | |
| A mint julep, a mint julep | |
| One mint julep was the cause of it all |
| One early morning as | |
| I was walking | |
| I met a woman, we started talking | |
| I took her home to get a few nips | |
| But all I had was a mint julep | |
| I don' t remember just how | |
