Relaid the lawn, turned the sprinkler on
Once I'd cleaned my fork she was gone, gone, gone
Topsoil all graded, turned over twice
The borders weeded, everything's nice

I cleaned out the shed, painted it green
Once I'd cleaned my brushes she was nowhere to be seen
Roofs to be felted, hinges to oil
She left me standing in nothing but soil

Lawn edges overgrown, remembering them newly sown, so long ago
Geraniums have gone to seed, love and care is all they need
Then autumn comes and it all goes to sleep

You took all my blooms, laid gravel over grass
You poisoned the compost, what was foretold has come to pass
Goodbye garden, pity me
I'm off to be a sailor on the deep blue sea

Box hedges overgrown, planted them all on my own, so long ago
The thorny roses make me bleed, digging up is what they need
Then winter's here and it all go to sleep

You wrecked all my blooms, laid concrete on my grass
Burned down the arbour, what was foretold has come to pass
Goodbye garden, pity me
I'm off to be a sailor on the deep blue sea
