Paragraph Lyric
In the heat of the day
When the sun shines so freely
There I met master kilby
So fine and so gay

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 hope to find rest
In the arms of my dear nancy
I'll build a new nest

And if I was the master
Of ten thousand pounds
In bright gold and silver
Or in king william's crown

I would part with it all
With my own heart so freely
It's all for the sake
Of my charming nancy

She's the fairest of girls
She's the choice of my heart
And her skin shines like silver
In every part

Oh, I gave her some kisses
It was down on the sea shore
But still she lay asking
Lay asking for more'
In the heat of the day   When the sun shines so freely   There I met master kilby   So fine and so gay      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 hope to find rest   In the arms of my dear nancy   I'll build a new nest      And if I was the master   Of ten thousand pounds   In bright gold and silver   Or in king william's crown      I would part with it all   With my own heart so freely   It's all for the sake   Of my charming nancy      She's the fairest of girls   She's the choice of my heart   And her skin shines like silver   In every part      Oh, I gave her some kisses   It was down on the sea shore   But still she lay asking   Lay asking for more'
