SOMEBODY.

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

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