Whiskey on a Sunday<\/span><\/p>\n

Come day go day, I wish in my heart it was Sunday<\/span>
\n<\/span>Drinkin<\/span>‘ buttermilk through the week and whiskey on a Sunday<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>He sits on the corner by <\/span>ould<\/span> beggar’s bush atop of an <\/span>ould<\/span> packing crate<\/span>
\n<\/span>He’s got three wooden dolls who can dance and can sing<\/span>
\n<\/span>And he sits with a smile on his face<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Come day go day, I wish in my heart it was Sunday<\/span>
\n<\/span>Drinkin<\/span>‘ buttermilk through the week and whiskey on a Sunday<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>His tired <\/span>ould<\/span> hands tug away on the strings,
\n<\/span><\/span>the puppets they dance up and down<\/span>
\n<\/span>It’s a far better show than you ever will see<\/span>
\n<\/span>In the fanciest theatre in town<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Come day go day, I wish in my heart it was Sunday<\/span>
\n<\/span>Drinkin<\/span>‘ buttermilk through the week and whiskey on a Sunday<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>I’m sad to relate that <\/span>ould<\/span> Sad Davie died in nineteen hundred and four<\/span>
\n<\/span>His three wooden dolls in the dustbin are laid<\/span>
\n<\/span>Their songs will be heard never more<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Come day go day, I wish in my heart it was Sunday<\/span>
\n<\/span>Drinkin<\/span>‘ buttermilk through the week and whiskey on a Sunday<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Some dark stormy night should your <\/span>passin<\/span>‘ that way
\nand the winds <\/span>blowin<\/span>‘ up from the sea
\nyou can still hear the voice of <\/span>ould<\/span> Sad Davie<\/span>
\n<\/span>As he sings to his <\/span>dancin<\/span>‘ dolls three <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

CHORUS<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Come day go day, I wish in my heart it was Sunday<\/span>
\n<\/span>Drinkin<\/span>‘ buttermilk through the week and whiskey on a Sunday<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
