Karaoké Nancy Mulligan Ed Sheeran

I was twenty four years old when I met the woman

I would call my own

Twenty two grand kids now growing old in the house that your brother brought 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

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

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

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

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 'bout the king and crown

'Cos I found my heart upon the southern ground

There's no difference

I assure ya

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
