JACK, COM KISS ME [sic]. AKA and see "Merry Andrew (2)," "Peacemaker (The)." English, Country Dance Tune (cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The first part of the tune is slightly reminiscent of the similarly titled "John Come Kiss Me Now." The tune was entered under the title "Merry Andrew" in the mid-19th century music manuscript of William Winter (1774-1861), a shoemaker and violin player who lived in West Bagborough in Somerset, southwest England.
