KISS ME QUICK AND GO. American, Air and Polka (2/4 time). C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The music to "Kiss Me Quick and Go" was composed by Fred Buckley to words by Silas S. Steele and published in 1856.
The other night while I was sparking
Sweet Turlina Spray,
The more we whisper'd our love talking.
The more we had to say;
The old folks and the little folks
We thought were fast in bed-
We heard a footstep on the stairs,
And what d'ye think she said?
Chorus.
"Oh! kiss me quick and go, my honey,
Kiss me quick and go!
To cheat surprise and prying eyes,
Why kiss me quick and go!"
The song proved durable and was recorded several times in the 78 RPM era, notably by Uncle Bud Landress and the Georgia Yellow Hammers. In Britain, 'Kiss me quick' is perhaps best known from being printed on hats traditionally worn at seaside resorts such as Blackpool. The phrase was also applied to a type of bonnet, a 'kiss-me-quick', that was set far back on the head, thus exposing the face.
