Nancy Mulligan
[00:04.83] I was twenty four years old
[00:10.81] When I met the woman I would call my own
[00:13.26] Twenty two grand kids now growing old
[00:15.78] In the house that your brother bought ya
[00:22.56] On the summer day when I proposed
[00:24.79] I made that wedding ring from dentist gold
[00:27.26] And I asked her father but her daddy said, "No
[00:29.52] You can't marry my daughter"
[00:32.29] She and I went on the run
[00:34.54] Don't care about religion
[00:36.79] I'm gonna marry the woman I love
[00:39.07] Down by the Wexford border
[00:41.65] She was Nancy Mulligan
[00:44.02] And I was William Sheeran
[00:46.31] She took my name and then we were one
[00:48.53] Down by the Wexford border
[01:00.28] Well, I met her at Guy's in the second world war
[01:02.52] And she was working on a soldier's ward
[01:05.05] Never had I seen such beauty before
[01:07.36] The moment that I saw her
[01:09.81] Nancy was my yellow rose
[01:12.33] And we got married wearing borrowed clothes
[01:14.27] We got eight children now growing old
[01:16.77] Five sons and three daughters
[01:19.53] She and I went on the run
[01:21.59] Don't care about religion
[01:23.26] I'm gonna marry the woman I love
[01:23.26] Down by the Wexford border
[01:28.55] She was Nancy Mulligan
[01:31.02] And I was William Sheeran
[01:33.26] She took my name and then we were one
[01:35.83] Down by the Wexford border
[01:56.59] From her snow white streak in her jet black hair
[01:59.07] Over sixty years I've been loving her
[02:01.35] Now we're sat by the fire, in our old armchairs
[02:03.52] You know Nancy I adore ya
[02:06.08] From a farm boy born near Belfast town
[02:08.53] I never worried about the king and crown
[02:10.77] Cause I found my heart upon the southern ground
[02:13.05] There's no difference, I assure ya
[02:15.77] She and I went on the run
[02:18.06] Don't care about religion
[02:20.51] I'm gonna marry the woman I love
[02:22.79] Down by the Wexford border
[02:25.32] She was Nancy Mulligan
[02:27.54] And I was William Sheeran
[02:29.78] She took my name and then we were one
[02:32.31] Down by the Wexford border
