Subject: HELP FIND LONG LOST SONG TITLE!

NEED HELP finding title on an old folk/love song!!

Below are the words to a song my grandmother (now deceased) sang to my mother long ago, probably back in the 1930's. I've tried all the web search engines, and several lyrics sites, and not been able to find it. I'd really appreciate any help you can offer...

(1) Can you suggest where I might be able to find the title to this old love/folk song?

(2) Can you tell me if this rhyming song fits some type of standard pattern/format in the way it's structured and where it rhymes?

In a cool shady nook, by the side of a brook, Two maidens were fishing alone, They talked as they fished, and the younger girl wished, For a sweetheart she never had known.

The older girl said, with a toss of her head, You have no cause to be blue. Your love you've not met, but he'll come to you yet, For there's somebody waiting for you.

Chorus:

Somewhere, there's somebody waiting for you, you, you. Somewhere, somebody's waiting whose heart is true. Someday, you'll meet somebody who loves you true. Somewhere, there's somebody waiting for you, you, you.

===================

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP!! (Reply to Marsh at snow@halcyon.com)

Don't know if it is the same recording
but Cliff Carlisle recorded
Somewhere There's Somebody Waiting For You
And Bradley Kincaid recorded a similar song
Somebody's Waiting For You

SOMEBODY'S WAITING FOR YOU
(Words by Vincent Bryan. Music by Al. Gumble. 1906.)

In a cool shady nook by the side of the brook,
Two sweet maidens were fishing alone.
They talked as they fished, and the younger girl wished
For the sweetheart she never had known.
The other girl said, with a toss of her head,
"Cheer up, dear. There's no cause to be blue.
Your love you've not met, but he'll come to you yet,
For there's somebody waiting for you."

CHORUS: Somewhere, somebody's waiting for you, you, you.
Somewhere, somebody's longing whose heart is true.
Sometime, you'll love somebody who loves you too.
Somewhere somebody's waiting for you, you, you.

Then a youth, passing by, heard her sister's reply,
And he joined in their chat, half in fun.
He said, "It is true. Someone's waiting for you,
And I wish you thought I was the one."
She paused for a while, and she said with a smile,
"I'm not sure, but you may be, it's true.
But if you are wrong, why, you won't worry long,
For there's somebody waiting for you." CHORUS^^
