Nancy Mulligan piano leadsheet with chords

Hey!

Hey! I was twentyfour years old when I met the woman I would call my own.

Twentytwo grandkids, now growing old in that house that your brother bought you.

On the summer day that 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, 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 soldiers' 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.

down by the Wexford border.

From her snowwhite streak in her jetblack 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 you.

From a farm boy born near Belfast town,

I never worried 'bout the king and crown 'cause I found my heart upon the southern ground.

There's no diff'rence, I assure you.

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.
