Hey hey
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
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
I was William Sheeran
She took my name and then we were one
Down by the Wexford border
Hey hey
Well met her at Guy's in the Second World War
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
We got married wearing borrowed clothes
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
I was William Sheeran
She took my name and then we were one
Down by the Wexford border
Lalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalala
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
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
I was William Sheeran
She took my name and then we were one
Down by the Wexford border
Lalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalala
