One Mint Julep (12-19-51) - The Clovers[00:00:00]
Written by:Toombs Rudolph[00:00:05]
One early morning as I was walking[00:00:10]
I met a woman we started talking[00:00:15]
I took her home to get a few nips[00:00:19]
But all I had was a mint julep[00:00:24]
One mint julep was the cause of it all[00:00:28]
I don't remember just how I started[00:00:38]
I only know is we should have parted[00:00:43]
I stole a kiss and then another[00:00:47]
I didn't mean to take it further[00:00:52]
One mint julep was the cause of it all[00:00:56]
The lights were burning low there in the parlor[00:01:05]
When through the kitchen door up popped her father[00:01:09]
He said I saw you when you kissed my daughter[00:01:14]
Better wed her right now or face a slaughter[00:01:18]
I didn't know just what I was doing[00:01:24]
I had to marry or face ruin[00:01:29]
A mint julep a mint julep[00:01:33]
A mint julep a mint julep[00:01:38]
One mint julep was the cause of it all[00:01:42]
I don't want to bore you with my troubles[00:01:51]
But from now on I'll be thinking double[00:01:55]
I'm through with flirting and drinking whiskey[00:02:00]
I got six extra children from a getting frisky[00:02:04]
A mint julep a mint julep[00:02:09]
A mint julep a mint julep[00:02:14]
One mint julep was the cause of it all[00:02:18]
