Nancy Mulligan Lyrics by Ed Sheeran Ed Sheeran
Below, you will find the lyrics for Nancy Mulligan by Ed Sheeran.
Verse 1
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 bought 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'
Chorus 1
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!
Verse 2
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
Chorus 2
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
Verse 3
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
Chorus 3
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
