Lyrics
Chorus:
(Hum) Come day go day
Wish in me heart for Sunday (hum)
Drinking buttermilk all the week
Whiskey on a Sunday.

He sat on the corner of Bevington Bush
‘Stride of an old packing case
And the dolls on the end of the plank went dancing
As he crooned with a smile on his face. (hum)

(Chorus)

His tired old hands drummed the wooden beam
And the puppet dolls, they danced d’gear
A better show than you have ever seen
At the Pivvy or New Brighton Pier.

(Chorus)

But in nineteen-o-five Seth Davey died
And his song was heard no more
And the three dancing dolls in a jowler bin ended
And the plank went to mend a back door.

(Chorus)

But on some stormy nights down Scotty Road way
When the wind’s blowing up from the sea
You can still hear the song of old Seth Davey
As he croons to his dancing dolls three.

(Chorus)
