the wellermen - nancy mulligan lyrics

[verse 1]
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 can’t marry my daughter”

[chorus]
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
[verse 2]
well, i met her at guy’s in the second world war
and 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

[verse 3]
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
[chorus]
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
