Nancy Mulligan (feat. Bobby Waters)

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
