Subject: RE: Lyr. Req: Love Somebody
Denise- In several sources including this one "Love Somebody Yes I Do," is included as one of group, see below:

My Love is but a Lassie: As "Miss Farqharson's Reel" this tune first appeared in print in "Bremner's Scots Reels" of 1757, and it became better known as "My Love Is But A Lassie" because of the song Robert Burns composed to it. It is well known in Scotland, England, Ireland, and all over North America, and was known in America in Colonial days. The tune was printed under the title "Richmond Blues" in George P. Knauff's "Virginia Reels," Baltimore, 1839. Over the years it has accumulated many more names, including "Buffalo Nickel," "Chinky Pin" (or "Chinquapin,") "Crumb Creek Posey," "Darling Child," "The Duke of York," "Farmer Had a Dog," "Fourth of July," "Hair in the Butter," "I'm My Momma's Darling," "Jackson's Fancy," "Lead Out," "Leesil," "Love Somebody Yes I Do," "Midnight Serenade," "Old Kingdom," "Soapsuds Over the Fence," "Sweet Sixteen," "Ten Nights in a Bar Room," "Too Young to Marry," "Raymondville," and "Yellow Eyed Cat."
