Nancy Mulligan
[00:09.45] I was twenty-four years old
[00:11.64] When I met the woman I would call my own
[00:13.93] Twenty-two grand kids now growing old
[00:16.15] In that house that your brother bought ya
[00:23.39] On the summer day when I proposed
[00:25.66] I made that wedding ring from dentist gold
[00:28.16] And I asked her father, but her daddy said, "No
[00:30.41] You can't marry my daughter"
[00:32.64] She and I went on the run
[00:35.15] Don't care about religion
[00:37.39] I'm gonna marry the woman I love
[00:39.92] Down by the Wexford border
[00:42.15] She was Nancy Mulligan
[00:44.66] And I was William Sheeran
[00:46.65] She took my name and then we were one
[00:49.15] Down by the Wexford border
[00:51.64] Well, met her at Guy's in the second world war
[01:03.17] And she was working on a soldier's ward
[01:05.67] Never had I seen such beauty before
[01:08.15] The moment that I saw her
[01:10.41] Nancy was my yellow rose
[01:12.68] And we got married wearing borrowed clothes
[01:14.90] We got eight children now growing old
[01:17.43] Five sons and three daughters
[01:19.66] She and I went on the run
[01:22.15] Don't care about religion
[01:24.42] I'm gonna marry the woman I love
[01:26.93] Down by the Wexford border
[01:29.15] She was Nancy Mulligan
[01:31.68] And I was William Sheeran
[01:33.91] She took my name and then we were one
[01:36.44] Down by the Wexford border
[01:57.65] From her snow white streak in her jet black hair
[01:59.65] Over sixty years I've been loving her
[02:02.16] Now we're sat by the fire in our old armchairs
[02:04.68] You know Nancy, I adore ya
[02:06.98] From a farm boy born near Belfast town
[02:09.13] I never worried about the king and crown
[02:11.68] 'Cause I found my heart upon the southern ground
[02:13.92] There's no difference, I assure ya
[02:16.40] She and I went on the run
[02:18.68] Don't care about religion
[02:20.91] I'm gonna marry the woman I love
[02:23.42] Down by the Wexford border
[02:25.66] She was Nancy Mulligan
[02:28.21] And I was William Sheeran
[02:30.39] She took my name and then we were one
[02:32.68] Down by the Wexford border
