Nancy Mulligan

lyrics

I was 24 years old
When I met the woman I would call my own
22 grandkids now growing old
In that 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 him at guy's in the second world war
When I was working on a soldier's ward
Never had I seen such beauty before
The moment that I saw you
He said I was his 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 the snow-white streak in her jet black hair
Over 60 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 took my name, and then we were one
Down by the Wexford Border
