Never on a sunday
Any time I resurrect this one an accordion friend of mine has some lines that go with it involving consuming whiskey but never on a sunday something like:
"I drink whiskey on a monday, on a tuesday, on a .....(etc)..... but never on a sunday". I don't know the full lyrics as I am too busy with the tune or too full of whiskey ;} .
The first few bars are the intro and then it's into pretty similar repeat phrases. Picked this version up at a session in spain a good number of years ago. Not sure if the key signature should be D there are c and f sharps in it but the tune plays OK for guitar in G.

Wasn't this a Greek song sung by Nana Mouskuri way back in the sixties ?

Song from a movie
Never on Sunday was a 1960s movie about a prostitute. In the song she describes her hours of operation.
I can't believe how young some sessioners are.
