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

[Verse 2]
I took off my hat
And I bowed to the ground
And I said. "Master Kilby
Where are you bound?"

[Verse 3]
"I'm bound for the west
In hopes to find rest
In the arms of my old Nancy
I will build a new nest

[Verse 4]
"Oh, if I was the master
Of ten thousand pounds
In bright gold and silver
Or in King William's crowns

[Verse 5]
"I'll part with it all
With my own heart so freely
Oh, it's all for the sake of
My charming Nancy"
[Verse 1]
In the heat of the day
When the sun shines so freely
I met Master Kilby
So blithe and so gay
Oh, I met Master Kilby
So blithe and so gay
