[Verse 1]
In the heat of the day
When the sun shines so freely
I met Master Kilby
So fine and so gay

[Verse 2]
Pulled off my hat
And then I bowed to the ground
And said. "Master Kilby
Oh, where are you bound?"

[Verse 3]
"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

[Verse 4]
She's the girl I adore
She's the choice of my heart
And her skin shines like silver
In every part

[Verse 5]
And if I was the master
Of ten thousand pounds
In bright gold and silver
Or in King William's crowns
[Verse 6]
I'd part with it all
With my own hеart so freely
It's all for the sake of
My charming Nancy

[Verse 7]
Gave hеr some kisses
Down by the sea shore
Still she lay asking
Lay asking for more"
