From the singing of The Spinners, Jackie and Bridie and some other Liverpudlians late 60's early 70's.
This is all I remember, I think there's a bit more plot in the middle and a ghosty final verse.
Any more anybody ?
Seth Davey
He sat on the corner of Bevington Bush
Astride an old packing case
And the two dancing dolls on the plank went dancing
As he crooned with a smile on his face
Come day, go day
Wishing my heart for Sunday
Drinking buttermilk all the week
Whisky on a Sunday
But in 1902 Seth Davey died
His song could be heard no more
The two dancing dolls in a jower bin* ended
And thew plank went to mend a back door
Come day, go day
Wishing my heart for Sunday
Drinking buttermilk all the week
Whisky on a Sunday
*trans: jower = alley
bin = been = have
