LOVE HER, TOM, FOR MY SAKE. Copyright, 1897, by Wm. B Gray. Words and music by Blanche Newcomb. 
You ask me, Tom, for Nellie, you want her for your bride, You know a father dreads to let his daughter from his side; But you have been a friend to me, I know you're good and true,. So love her, Tom, for my sake, and I'll always stick to you. 
Refrain. Love her, Tom, for my sake, a loving wife she'll be, Remember she's my only child, and a treasure been to me: 'Tis hard to part from those we love, but I know you're good and true, So love her, Tom, for my sake, and I'll always stick to you. 
When Nell was but a baby, you know her mother died. Remember when I told you how these loving words she cried: "Be kind to Nell, dear father, and teach her all that's true," So love her, Tom, for my sake, and I'll always stick to you.- Cho
