Read the lyrics - A Taste of Gin

I lost him in the garden, many years ago
I wonder if they'll dig him up
where the the motorway has to go

He was a sweet old man, with a taste for gin
And he couldn't leave the ladies alone
So I had to do him in.

He was the love of my life
Oh I miss him so

But he couldn't leave the ladies alone
And so he had to go
And so he had to go

Is he the reason, my roses bloom so red
Or did I lay him down,
under the vegetable bed

Do I imagine it or do my carrots taste like gin?
Or maybe he is why,
my apples taste of sin.

He was the love of my life
Oh I miss him so
But he couldn't leave the ladies alone
And so he had to go
And so he had to go

When the road goes through, I don't know what I'll do
I just hope my secret gets locked away,
under that motorway
under that motorway

He was the love of my life
Oh I miss him so
But he couldn't leave the ladies alone
And so he had to go
And so he had to go
And so he had to go
