John Smith - Master Kilby Lyrics

In the heat of the day when the sun shines so freely
I met Master Kilby so fine on that day
I pulled off my hat and I bowed to the ground
""Forgive me Master Kilby, but where are you bound?""

He says ""I'm going to the West where I hope I'll find rest
In the arms of my Nancy I'll build a new nest
She's the girl I adore, the choice of my heart
And her skin shines like silver in every part

""If I were the master of ten thousand pounds
In gold or in silver, in King William's crown
I'd give it away with my own heart so freely
All for the sake of my darling Nancy

""Well I gave her some kisses
We were down by the seashore
And still she lay asking
She lay asking for more.""
