Nancy Mulligan

I was twenty-four years old

When I met the woman I would call my own

Twenty-two grandkids now growing old

In the house that your brother bought ya

On the summer day when I proposed

I made that wedding ring from dentist gold

And I asked her father, but her daddy said, "No

You can't marry my daughter"

She and I went on the run

Don't care about religion

I'm gonna marry the woman I love

Down by the Wexford border

She was Nancy Mulligan

And I was William Sheeran

She took my name and then we were one

Down by the Wexford border

Well, I met her at Guy's in the Second World War

And she was working on a soldier's ward

Never had I seen such beauty before

The moment that I saw her

Nancy was my yellow rose

And we got married wearing borrowed clothes

We got eight children now growing old

Five sons and three daughters

She and I went on the run

Don't care about religion

I'm gonna marry the woman I love

Down by the Wexford border

She was Nancy Mulligan

And I was William Sheeran

She took my name and then we were one

Down by the Wexford border

From her snow-white streak in her jet black hair

Over sixty years I've been loving her

Now we're sat by the fire in our old armchairs

You know Nancy, I adore ya

From a farm boy born near Belfast town

I never worried about the king and crown

'Cause I found my heart upon the southern ground

There's no difference, I assure ya

She and I went on the run

Don't care about religion

I'm gonna marry the woman I love

Down by the Wexford border

She was Nancy Mulligan

And I was William Sheeran

She took my name and then we were one

Down by the Wexford border

She and I went on the run

Don't care about religion

I'm gonna marry the woman I love

Down by the Wexford border

She was Nancy Mulligan

And I was William Sheeran

She took my name and then we were one

Down by the Wexford border
