I was twenty-four years oldWhen I met the woman I would call my ownTwenty-two grand kids now growing oldIn that house that your brother bought yaOn the summer day when I proposedI made that wedding ring from dentist goldAnd I asked her father, but her daddy said: "NoYou can't marry my daughter"She and I went on the runDon't care about religionI'm gonna marry the woman I loveDown by the Wexford borderShe was Nancy MulliganAnd I was William SheeranShe took my name and then we were oneDown by the Wexford borderWell, met her at Guy's in the Second World WarAnd she was working on a soldier's wardNever had I seen such beauty beforeThe moment that I saw herNancy was my yellow roseAnd we got married wearing borrowed clothesWe got eight children, now growing oldFive sons and three daughtersShe and I went on the runDon't care about religionI'm gonna marry the woman I loveDown by the Wexford borderShe was Nancy MulliganAnd I was William SheeranShe took my name and then we were oneDown by the Wexford borderFrom her snow white streak in her jet black hairOver sixty years I've been loving herNow we're sat by the fire in our old armchairsYou know Nancy, I adore yaFrom a farm boy born near Belfast townI never worried about the king and crown'Cause I found my heart upon the southern groundThere's no difference, I assure yaShe and I went on the runDon't care about religionI'm gonna marry the woman I loveDown by the Wexford borderShe was Nancy MulliganAnd I was William SheeranShe took my name and then we were oneDown by the Wexford border
