Three years ago,
since Jack and Joe

set sail across the foam,
Each vowed a fortune he would make

In one short year,
Jack gained his wealth

and started home that day

And when the pals shook hands to part,
E
A

poor Joe could only say
Give my love to Nellie, Jack,
C

kiss her once for me
The sweetest girl in all the world,
A

I'm sure you'll say it's she
G
Treat her kindly, Jack, old pal,
C

and tell her I am well
C
His parting words were,
G

don't forget to give my love to Nell
Three years had passed
when Joe at last
C

Gained wealth enough for life
He started home across the foam

To make sweet Nell his wife
G
But when he learned that Jack and Nell
C

One year ago had twinned
C
With sobs and tears,
G

he now regrets that he had ever said
Give my love to Nellie

Jack, kiss her once for me
The sweetest girl in all the world,
