text: Nancy Mulligan Lyrics
  I was twenty-four years old
  When I met the woman I would call my own
  Twenty-two grand kids 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 cant marry my daughter
  She and I went on the run
  Dont care about religion
  Im 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 Guys in the second World War
  And she was working on a soldiers 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
  Dont care about religion
  Im 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 Ive been loving her
  Now were 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
  Theres no difference, I assure ya
  She and I went on the run
  Dont care about religion
  Im 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 border26Embed
