He [G]sat at the corner of [A7]Beggars Bush A [D7]stride an old packing [G]case The dolls on the end of the [A7]plank were dancing As he [D7]crooned with a smile on his [G]face [G] [F#] [F] [E7]

His [G]tired old hands felt the [A7]wooden beam And the [D7]puppets they danced up and [G]down A far better show than you [A7]ever would see In the [D7]fanciest theatre in [G]town [G] [F#] [F] [E7]

In [G]nineteen oh two old [A7]Seth Davey died His [D7]songs were heard no [G]more The three dancing dolls in the [A7]dustbin were thrown And the [D7]plank went to mend a back [G]door [G] [F#] [F] [E7]

But on [G]some stormy night if you’re [A7]passing that way And the [D7]wind’s blowing up from the [G]sea You can still hear the sound of [A7]old Seth Davy As he [D7]croons to his dancing dolls [G]three [G] [F#] [F] [E7]

[E7]Come day [A7]go day [D7]Wish in me heart it were [G]Sunday [G] [F#] [F] [E7] [E7]Drinking buttermilk [A7]all the week [D7]Whiskey on a [G]Sunday
