Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
He  sits on the  corner of  Beggers  Bush,the stride  of an old packing  case,
 And the dolls  at the end of the plank  were dancing,as  he crooned  wit a smile
 on his face.
 Come  day go  day,wishing  me heart it was Sunday,
 Drinking  Buttermilk  all the week,  Whiskey on a Sunday
 His tired old hands from the wodde beam,
 And the puppets they danced up and down,
 A far better show than you ever will see,
 In the fanciest theater in tow.
 In nineteen O two old Seth Davy died,
 And his song was heard no more,
 The three dancing dolls in the dustbin were thrown,
 And the plank went to mend the back door.
 On some stormy night when your passing that way,
 With the wind blowing up from the sea,
 You can still hear the sound of old Seth Davy,
 As he croons to his dancing dolls three.

And the plank went to mend the back door.

On some stormy night when your passing that way,
With the wind blowing up from the sea,
You can still hear the sound of old Seth Davy,
As he croons to his dancing dolls three.
