Whiskey on a Sunday
Glen Hughes wrote this song in Liverpool around 1959.
The original first line of the song is ''Bevington Bush''
which got changed to Beggers Bush when it was recorded
by Irish singers. Bevington Bush was a hotel in Liverpool.
3/4
D Em G
He sits on the corner of Beggers Bush,
A D
a-stride of an old packing case,
D Em G
And the dolls at the end of the pla-nk are dancing,
A D
as he croons wit a smile on his face.
[Chorus]
Bm D Em
La la la la,come day go day
A D
Wishing me heart it was Sunday,
G D A Em
La la la la, drinking buttermilk all the week,
A7 D
Whiskey on a Sunday
D Em G
[2]His ti-red old hands pull the wooden beam,
A D
And the puppets they dance up and down,
D Em G
A far better show than you ever will see,
A D
In the fanciest theater in town.
[Chorus]
Bm D Em
La la la la,come day go day
A D
Wishing me heart it was Sunday,
G D A Em
La la la la, drinking buttermilk all the week,
A7 D
Whiskey on a Sunday
D Em G
[3]In nineteen-o-two old Seth Davy died,
A D
And his song it was heard there no more,
D Em G
The three dancing dolls in the dustbin were thrown,
A D
And the plank went to mend the back door.
[Chorus]
Bm D Em
La la la la,come day go day
A D
Wishing me heart it was Sunday,
G D A Em
La la la la, drinking buttermilk all the week,
A7 D
Whiskey on a Sunday
D Em G
[4]On some stormy night when your passing that way
A D
With the wind blowing up from the sea,
D Em G
You can still hear the sound of old Seth Davy,
A D
As he croons to his dancing dolls three.
[Chorus]
Bm D Em
La la la la,come day go day
A D
Wishing me heart it was Sunday,
G D A Em
La la la la, drinking buttermilk all the week,
A7 D
