Nic Jones Master Kilby
In the heat of the day when the sun shines so freely
I met Master Kilby so fine and so gay
Well, I pulled off my hat and I bowed to the ground
And I said, "Master Kilby, oh, where are you bound?"
"I'm bound for the west in hopes to find rest;
And in the arms of my dear Nancy I'll build a new nest
She's the girl that I adore, she's the choice of my heart;
And her skin shines like silver in every part
And if I was the master of ten thousand pounds
In bright gold and silver or in King William's crowns
I would part with it all with my own heart so freely:
It's all for the sake of my charming Nancy
Oh, I gave her some kisses, it was down by the sea shore;
But still she lay asking, lay asking for more."
