专辑 | Ray Charles: The Best Of (Remastered) |
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 startedI 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 |
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 startedI 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 agetting frisky | |
A mint julep, a mint julep | |
A mint julep, a mint julep | |
One mint julep was the cause of it all |
