| 498. Song—For the sake o’ Somebody |
| |
| |
| MY heart is sair—I dare na tell, | |
| My heart is sair for Somebody; | |
| I could wake a winter night | |
| For the sake o’ Somebody. | |
| O-hon! for Somebody! | 5 |
| O-hey! for Somebody! | |
| I could range the world around, | |
| For the sake o’ Somebody. | |
| |
| Ye Powers that smile on virtuous love, | |
| O, sweetly smile on Somebody! | 10 |
| 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? | 15 |
| For the sake o’ Somebody. | |
