Ed Sheeran - Nancy Mulligan

I was twenty four years old
when I met the woman
I would call my own
Twenty two grand
kids now growing old
in the house that your
brother brought 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 at her Guys
in the second world war
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
