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 somebodyFrae ilka danger keep him freeAnd 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.
