KEMO, KIMO. AKA and see "Polly Kimo." American, Dance and Song tune; English, Air and Morris Dance Tune (2/4 time). D Major (Ford, Raven): B Flat Major (Scott). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Raven, Scott): AABB (Ford). A black-face minstrel song, popularized in England in the nineteenth century by the vocalist Sam Cowell.
In South Car'lina the darkies go
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki'me, oh!
That's whar the white folks plant the tow,
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki'me, oh!
Chorus:
Kemo, Kimo! Dar! Oh, whar?
Wid my hi, my ho, and in come Sally, singing,
Sometimes penny-winkle-lingtum, nip-cat.
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki'me, O! (Ford).
Ford also prints the words to a blackface minstrel song to the same tune called "Polly Kimo" (Ford, 1940; p. 540).
