15 - Nancy Mulligan
[00:09.15] I was twenty-four years old
[00:11.28] When I met the woman I would call my own
[00:13.59] Twenty-two grand kids now growing old
[00:16.08] In that house that your brother bought ya
[00:19.25] .
[00:23.02] On the summer day when I proposed
[00:25.52] I made that wedding ring from dentist gold
[00:27.80] And I asked her father, but her daddy said, "No
[00:30.25] You can't marry my daughter"
[00:32.72] She and I went on the run
[00:35.13] Don't care about religion
[00:37.39] I'm gonna marry the woman I love
[00:39.74] Down by the Wexford border
[00:42.03] She was Nancy Mulligan
[00:44.39] And I was William Sheeran
[00:46.63] She took my name and then we were one
[00:49.29] Down by the Wexford border
[00:52.28] .
[00:56.10] Hey
[00:57.27] .
[01:00.69] Well, I met her at Guy's in the second World War
[01:03.11] And she was working on a soldier's ward
[01:05.50] Never had I seen such beauty before
[01:08.00] The moment that I saw her
[01:10.50] Nancy was my yellow rose
[01:12.50] And we got married wearing borrowed clothes
[01:14.79] We got eight children, now growing old
[01:17.57] Five sons and three daughters
[01:19.67] She and I went on the run
[01:22.17] Don't care about religion
[01:24.51] I'm gonna marry the woman I love
[01:26.75] Down by the Wexford border
[01:29.02] She was Nancy Mulligan
[01:31.54] And I was William Sheeran
[01:33.78] She took my name and then we were one
[01:36.16] Down by the Wexford border
[01:39.31] .
[01:57.13] From her snow white streak in her jet black hair
[01:59.52] Over sixty years I've been loving her
[02:01.88] Now we're sat by the fire in our old armchairs
[02:04.32] You know Nancy, I adore ya
[02:06.57] From a farm boy born near Belfast town
[02:09.03] I never worried about the king and crown
[02:11.25] 'Cause I found my heart upon the southern ground
[02:13.65] There's no difference, I assure ya
[02:16.02] She and I went on the run
[02:18.49] Don't care about religion
[02:21.01] I'm gonna marry the woman I love
[02:23.28] Down by the Wexford border
[02:25.49] She was Nancy Mulligan
[02:27.91] And I was William Sheeran
[02:30.16] She took my name and then we were one
[02:32.64] Down by the Wexford border
[02:35.74] .
