| Come day, go day
|
| Wish in me heart it were Sunday
|
| Drinking buttermilk through the week
|
| Whiskey on a Sunday
|
| He sits in the corner of old beggar’s bush
|
| On top of an old packing crate
|
| He has three wooden dolls
|
| That can dance and can sing
|
| And he croons with a smile on his face
|
| Come day, go day
|
| Wish in me heart it were Sunday
|
| Drinking buttermilk through the week
|
| Whiskey on a Sunday
|
| His tired old hands tug away at the strings
|
| And the puppets dance up and down
|
| A far better show than you ever would see
|
| In the fanciest theatre in town
|
| Come day, go day
|
| Wish in me heart it were Sunday
|
| Drinking buttermilk through the week
|
| Whiskey on a Sunday
|
| And sad to relate that old Seth Davy died in 1904
|
| The three wooden dolls in the dustbin were laid
|
| His song will be heard nevermore
|
| Come day, go day
|
| Wish in me heart it were Sunday
|
| Drinking buttermilk through the week
|
| Whiskey on a Sunday
|
| But some stormy night when you’re passing that way
|
| And the wind’s blowing up from the sea
|
| You’ll still hear the song of old Seth Davy
|
| As he croons to his dancing dolls three
|
| Come day, go day
|
| Wish in me heart it were Sunday
|
| Drinking buttermilk through the week
|
| Whiskey on a Sunday
|
| Come day, go day
|
| Wish in me heart it were Sunday
|
| Drinking buttermilk through the week
|
| Whiskey on a Sunday |
