I've been all over this country

Been half way ‘round the world

I've been traveling so dog gone much

That I haven't got a steady girl



Somebody to love (Somebody to love)

Somebody to love (Somebody to love)

Somebody to call me turtledove

Somebody to love



Yes I guess I've been lucky

I've had me fortune and fame

But I would give up my roman ways

Just to change some girlie's name



Somebody to love (Somebody to love)

Somebody to love (Somebody to love)

Somebody to call me turtledove

Somebody to love



I've been hurtin' (He's been hurtin')

Such a long, long time (long, long time)

I've been searchin' (He's been searchin')

Where's that girl of mine



Won't you hear me now,

If there's somebody listenin'

Won't you hear my plea?

Won't you send me a good, good girl

To spend her life with me
