[Verse]

C Am Dm F G C

Oh, he sits at the corner of Beggars Bush, astride of an old packing case,

Am Dm F G

And the dolls at the end of the plank were dancing, as he crooned with a smile

on his face

[Chorus]

Am Dm G C

Come day, go day, wishing me heart it was Sunday

Am Dm G C

Drinking buttermilk all the week, and it's whiskey on a Sunday

[Verse]

C Am Dm F

His tired old hands from the wooden beam,

G C

And the puppets they danced up and down

Am Dm F

A far better show than you ever will see,

G C

In the fanciest theatre in town

[Chorus]

Am Dm G C

Come day, go day, wishing me heart it was Sunday

Am Dm G C

Drinking buttermilk all the week, and it's whiskey on a Sunday

[Verse]

C Am Dm F

In nineteen o two old Seth Davy died,

G C

His song, it was heard no more

Am Dm F

His three dancing dolls in the dustbin were thrown,

G C

And the plank went to mend the back door

[Chorus]

Am Dm G C

Come day, go day, wishing me heart it was Sunday

Am Dm G C

Drinking buttermilk all the week, and it's whiskey on a Sunday

[Verse]

C Am Dm F

On some stormy night if you're passing that way,

G C

With the wind blowing up from the sea

Am Dm F

You may still hear the song of old Seth Davy,

G C

As he croons to his dancing dolls three

[Chorus]

Am Dm G C

Come day, go day, wishing me heart it was Sunday

Am Dm G C

Drinking buttermilk all the week, and it's whiskey on a Sunday

Am Dm G C

Drinking buttermilk all the week, and it's whiskey on a Sunday
