Nancy Mulligan Lyrics - Ed Sheeran

1 I was twenty-four years old

2 When I met the woman I would call my own

3 Twenty-two grand kids now growing old

4 In that house that your brother bought ya

5 On the summer day when I proposed

6 I made that wedding ring from dentist gold

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

8 You can't marry my daughter"

9 She and I went on the run

10 Don't care about religion

11 I'm gonna marry the woman I love

12 Down by the Wexford border

13 She was Nancy Mulligan

14 And I was William Sheeran

15 She took my name and then we were one

16 Down by the Wexford border

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

18 And she was working on a soldier's ward

19 Never had I seen such beauty before

20 The moment that I saw her

21 Nancy was my yellow rose

22 And we got married wearing borrowed clothes

23 We got eight children, now growing old

24 Five sons and three daughters

25 She and I went on the run

26 Don't care about religion

27 I'm gonna marry the woman I love

28 Down by the Wexford border

29 She was Nancy Mulligan

30 And I was William Sheeran

31 She took my name and then we were one

32 Down by the Wexford border

33 From her snow white streak in her jet black hair

34 Over sixty years I've been loving her

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

36 You know Nancy, I adore ya

37 From a farm boy born near Belfast town

38 I never worried about the king and crown

39 'Cause I found my heart upon the southern ground

40 There's no difference, I assure ya

41 She and I went on the run

42 Don't care about religion

43 I'm gonna marry the woman I love

44 Down by the Wexford border

45 She was Nancy Mulligan

46 And I was William Sheeran

47 She took my name and then we were one

48 Down by the Wexford border
