One Mint Julep

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
 One mint julep was the cause of it all
 I don't remember just how we 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
 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 of face ruin
 A mint julep, a mint julep
 A mint julep, a mint julep
 One mint julep was the cause of it all
 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
