Master Kilby

Master Kilby- Trad arr K. Rusby & D. O’Kane

In the heat of the day

When the sun shines so freely,

I met Master Kilby

So blithe and so gay.

I took of my hat

And I bowed to the ground

I said “Master Kilby

Where are you bound?”

“I’m bound for the west

In hopes to find rest,

And in the arms of my dear Nancy

I will build a new nest.

Oh if I was the master

Of ten thousand pounds

In bright gold and silver

Or in King Williams crowns,

I’d part with it all,

With my own heart so freely,

And it’s all for the sake of

My charming Nancy.”

In the heat of the day

When the sun shines so freely,

I met Master Kilby

So blithe and so gay.

I met Master Kilby
