The Garden Path to Hell Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of The Mystery of Edwin Drood

The Mystery of Edwin Drood (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

PUFFER:
I was once your nan
Then I met a man
Tall and all with golden hair
He's where my end began
Let him have his way with me
He knew his way so well
Led me down the garden path to hell
Marriage in me 'ead
What I got instead
Was a bed in Camden town and then to me 'e said:
"Should I send around a friend?
Be nice to him, this swell
Stroll him down your garden path to hell"
Make your bed of roses and sleep in it
Cuddle deep in it and pray you never wake
Soon the deadly Poppies come cropping up
Fairly popping from the seeds of one mistake
One me back all day
Earning Satan's pay
Took to drink so's not to think
Of who'd come next to play
Gave my gent ev'ry cent and he gave me farewell
Leaving me to weed the path to hell
Life's a maze of hedges that prickle you
As they tickle you, they'll tear you all about
Strolling down the maze is amusing, too
But confusing when you find there's no way out
Lost me looks by then
Couldn't draw the men
So I learned a trade and earned my keep with drugs and then
Found myself a wicked shelf where opium I sell
Here's a pipe for you, sir
Price is five and two, sir
Can't you see the garden
It's such a lovely garden
I'll take you there, I know the path so well
To hell
To hell
