1904년 Cecil Sharp에 의해 수집된 Master Kilby는 1909년 Nic Jones가 그의 앨범에 실었던곡

Sommerset는 England의 남서쪽에 위치한 COUNTY(행정구역)

3년쯤 전에 정천식님께서 벤자민 브리튼 편곡의 귀한 악보파일을 올려 주셨었는데 모두 욕심은 났었지만

연주와 노래를 혼자서는 도저히 할수 없는 연주자가 따로이 필요한 곡 이였었는데

가장 쉬워 보이는 3곡을 연습해본것중 이제서야 1곡 올려 봅니다.



Lyrics

Nic Jones sings Master Kilby

In the heat of the day when the sun shines so freely
I met Master Kilby so fine and so gay.

Well, 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 hopes to find rest;
And 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 crowns,

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 by the sea shore;
But still she lay asking, lay asking for more.”

Somerset (ⁱ/ˈsʌmərsɛt/ or /ˈsʌmərsɨt/) is a county in South West England which borders Gloucestershire to the north, Wiltshire to the east, Dorset to the south-east and Devon to the south-west. It is bounded to the north and west by the Bristol Channel and theestuary of the River Severn, its coastline facing southeastern Wales. Its traditional northern border is the River Avon.^[1] Somerset'scounty town is Taunton.

Somerset is a rural county of rolling hills such as the Blackdown Hills, Mendip Hills, Quantock Hills and Exmoor National Park, and large flat expanses of land including the Somerset Levels. There is evidence of human occupation from Palaeolithic times, and of subsequent settlement in the Roman and Anglo-Saxon periods. The county played a significant part in the consolidation of power and rise of King Alfred the Great, and later in the English Civil War and the Monmouth Rebellion.

Agriculture is a major business in the county. Farming of sheep and cattle, including for wool and the county's famous cheeses (most notably Cheddar), are traditional and contemporary, as is the more unusual cultivation of willow for basket weaving. Apple orchards were once plentiful, and Somerset is still known for the production of strong cider. Unemployment is lower than the national average; the largest employment sectors are retail, manufacturing, tourism, and health and social care. Population growth in the county is higher than the national average.
