Louis Prima - One Mint Julep lyrics

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 started I 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
