Bridge
The [F#7]lights were burning low, there in the parlor,
when [F7]through the kitchen door, up popped her father.
He [E7]said: 'I saw you when you kissed my daughter,
better [A]wed her right now or face a slaughter!'

Bridge
I [F#7]don't want to bore you with my troubles
but from [F7]now on I'll be thinkin' double.
I'm [E7]through with flirtin' and drinkin' whiskey,
I got [A]six extra children from a-gettin' frisky.
Outro
[D] A mint julep, [G7] a mint julep,
[D] a mint julep, [D] a mint julep,
[A] one mint julep [A] was the cause of it [D]all.[C]
