KISS ME QUICK AND GO
Words, Silas S. Steel. Music, Fred Buckley.
"Sung with great success at the concerts of Buckley's Opera Troupe at their new Opera House, Broadway, N.Y."
New York: Firth, Pond & Co., 1856.

1. The other night while I was sparking sweet Turlina Spray,
The more we whispered 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: O! Kiss me quick and go, my honey. Kiss me quick and go.
To cheat surprise and prying eyes, why, kiss me quick and go.

2. Soon after that I gave my love a moonlight promenade.
At last we fetched up to the door, just where the old folks stayed.
The clock struck twelve. Her heart struck, too, and peeping overhead,
We saw a nightcap raise the blind, and what d'ye think she said?

3. One Sunday night we sat together, sighing side by side,
Just like two wilted leaves of cabbage in the sunshine fried.
My heart with love was nigh to split to ask her for to wed.
Said I, "Shall I go for the priest?" And what d'ye think she said?
