"One Mint Julep" lyrics

One early morning as I was walking
I met a man
Went into tavern to get a few nips
But all I had was
One mint julep was the cause of it all

I don't remember just how it started
But I don't know if
We stole a kiss and then another
I didn't mean to
One mint julep was the cause of it all

The lights were burning low, there in the tavern
When through the swinging door up popped her father
He said, "I saw you when you kissed my daughter"

I didn't know just what we were doing
We have married
A mint julep, a mint julep
A mint julep
One mint julep

Now, I don't want to bore you with my troubles
But from now on I'll be thinking double
Just buy me roses or maybe tulips

I didn't know just what we were doing
We have married
A mint julep, a mint julep
A mint julep
One mint julep was the cause of it all
