American Old Time Song Lyrics: 57 Love Her Tom For My Sake
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 57
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
