Julep

I died happy in my sleep

I died happy in my sleep

Our children around and you looking down from

Heaven's a julep on the porch

Heaven's a julep on the porch

You and me rocking

A grandfather clock is tick, tick, tocking to the time

We used to wind it

She brought the sugar and the mint

She brought the sugar and the mint

And he brought the whiskey

Asked for my blessing

Yes sir I know she's

Heaven's a julep on the porch

Heaven's a julep on the porch

You and me rocking

A grandfather clock is tick, tick, tocking to the time

We used to wind it

Got time

We used to wind it

Now the time stands still

We can drink our fill

Out of silver

That will never

Tarnish like we will

You were just a girl that I should meet

You were the girl that I would meet

For drinks in the backyard

A beautiful daughter

Lifetimes of summer

And love ever after

I died happy in my sleep

I died happy in my sleep

Our children around and you looking down from

Heaven's a julep on the porch

Heaven's a julep on the porch

You and me rocking

A grandfather clock is tick, tick, tick, tick, tocking to the time

We used to wind it

Got time

We used to wind it

Oh it's tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tocking to the time

We used to wind it
