SOMEBODY.

Words by Robert Burns. Key-note G

My heart is sair, I daurna tell,
My heart is sair for somebody,
I could wake a winter night,
For the sake o' somebody.
O hon, for somebody!
O hey, for somebody!
I could range the world around,
For the sake o' somebody.

Ye pow'rs that smile on virtuous love,
O sweetly smile on somebody
Frae ilka danger keep him free
And send me safe my somebody,
O hon, for somebody!
O hey, for somebody!
I wad do, what wad I not?
For the sake o' somebody.
