Subject: Lyr Add: WHISKY ON A SUNDAY From: AndyG Date: 29 Jan 99 - 09:59 AM Mo,Dan, Thanks a lot, this is enough to spring open the locked doors in my memory.
Whisky on a Sunday (as I remember it, Liverpool variant)
He sat on the corner of Bevington Bush
Chorus:
His tired old hands drummed the wooden beam
Chorus:
Well in 1902 Seth Davy died
Chorus:
If you ever go down xxx xxx way, *
Chorus:
* still can't remember this bit!

Subject: RE: Whisky on a Sunday From: Don Meixner Date: 28 Jan 99 - 10:18 PM Mo, When I sing the the song in my band we sing " His old withered hands they would beat on the beam, And the puppets would dance up and down." And I learned the name as "Sed Davy". Can't remember where, but those where the words in a song book I saw. Either way works, thats the folk process for you. Don. |
Subject: Lyr Add: WHISKY ON A SUNDAY From: Mo Date: 28 Jan 99 - 08:18 PM Rather than clutter up the Kid Mudcatteers thread with messages from oldies like me (34 - nearly 35!) here's the lyrics to this songs as I know them - hope it's useful! Mo He sits on the corner of Beggar’s Bush Astride of an old packing case. And the dolls on the end of the plank are dancing As he croons with a smile on his face: CHORUS: Come day, Go day, Wishing me heart it was Sunday Drinking buttermilk all the week And it’s whisky on a Sunday. His tired old hand on the wooden beam As the puppets they danced up and down. A finer show than you ever would see At the fanciest theatre in town. CHORUS: Well in 1902 old Seth Davy died And his songs they were heard no more. And the three dancing dolls in the dustbin were thrown And the plank went to mend the back door. CHORUS: Well if you ever go down by Beggar’s Bush When the wind’s blowing up from the sea, You can still hear the songs of old Seth Davy As he croons to his dancing dolls three. CHORUS: (X 2) |
