We have several interesting threads on this song. I marked this one as the "origins" thread, but there is good information in several other threads. I'm not convinced we've found a definitive version of this song. The Digital Tradition lyrics appear to come from the Irish Rovers recording about Seth Davy with marionettes on strings. Here's my transcription of the recording by Danny Doyle, which has some significant differences from the DT/Irish Rovers version - and "limberjack" style dolls dancing on a board.

WHISKEY ON A SUNDAY (as sung by Danny Doyle)
(Glyn Hughes)

CHORUS:
Come day, go day, wish in my heart it was Sunday,
Drinking buttermilk all the week,
Whisky on a Sunday.

He sits on the corner of Beggars Bush,
Astride of an old packing case,
And the dolls on the end of the plank were dancing,
As he crooned with a smile on his face. CHORUS

His tired old hands drummed the wooden beam,
And the puppets they danced up and down,
A far better show than you ever would see,
In the fanciest theatre in town. CHORUS

But in 1902 old Seth Davy died,
His song it was heard no more,
The three dancing dolls in the dustbin were thrown,
And the plank went to mend the back door. CHORUS

Well, on some stormy night if you're passing that way,
With the wind blowing up from the sea,
You can still hear the songs of old Seth Davy,
As he croons to his dancing dolls three.

SING CHORUS TWICE, FADING DURING 2ND.
