Kane and Beatty: Music

Whiskey on a Sunday

(Kane and Beatty)
He sits on a corner in old Beggers Bush
On top of an old packin' case.
With three wooden dolls that can dance and can sing
And he croons with a smile on his face.

Come day go day
I wish in me heart it was Sunday
Drinkin' Buttermilk Through the Week
And Whiskey on a Sunday

His tired old hands tug a wooden beam
As the dolls they dance up and down
It's a far better show than you'll ever see
In the fanciest theatres in town

In 1903 old Seth Davey died
And his songs were hear no more
The three wooden dolls in the dust bin were thrown
And the plank went to mend the back door.

Chorus

Some stormy night if you happen that way
And the wind's blowin' up from the sea
You can still hear the songs of old Seth Davey
As he croons to his dancin' dolls three.
