Somebody’s Waiting For Me

Key of G

Verse

In a noisy eastern city sat a lonely lad one night
In a bar room where the wine began to flow
From a table in the corner the young man slowly rised
And he said it’s getting late boys I must go

Chorus

For somebody’s waiting for me
Someone who loves me I know
There’s a light shining bright in the window
For somebody’s waiting for me

Verse

I suppose you have a sweetheart his companions jovially said
If she’s pretty we would like to see her too
If you’ll only stop your teasing I will show her to you boys
She’s the only sweetheart that I ever knew

Verse

So you see I told the truth boys when I said
