I was twenty-four years old
A Bm
When I met the woman I would call my own
Bm G D
Twenty-two grand kids now growing old
G A Bm
In that house that your brother bought ya
Bm G
On the summer day when I proposed
A Bm
I made that wedding ring from dentist gold
Bm G D
And I asked her father, but her daddy said, "No
G A Bm
You can't marry my daughter"
D G D A G D
She and I went on the run Don't care about religion
D G D
I'm gonna marry the woman I love
G A Bm
Down by the Wexford border
D G D A G D
She was Nancy Mulligan And I was William Sheeran
D G D
She took my name and then we were one
G A Bm
Down by the Wexford border
Bm G A Bm Bm G D G A Bm
Bm G
Well, met her at Guy's in the second world war
A Bm
And she was working on a soldier's ward
Bm G D
Never had I seen such beauty before
G A Bm
The moment that I saw her
Bm G
Nancy was my yellow rose
A Bm
And we got married wearing borrowed clothes
Bm G D
We got eight children now growing old
G A Bm
Five sons and three daughters
D G D A G D
She and I went on the run Don't care about religion
D G D
I'm gonna marry the woman I love
G A Bm
Down by the Wexford border
D G D A G D
She was Nancy Mulligan And I was William Sheeran
D G D
She took my name and then we were one
G A Bm
Down by the Wexford border
D G D A D G D A D
Bm G
From her snow white streak in her jet black hair
A Bm
Over sixty years I've been loving her
Bm G D
Now we're sat by the fire in our old armchairs
G A Bm
You know Nancy, I adore ya
Bm G
From a farm boy born near Belfast town
A Bm
I never worried about the king and crown
Bm G D
'Cause I found my heart upon the southern ground
G A Bm
There's no difference, I assure ya
D G D A G D
She and I went on the run Don't care about religion
D G D
I'm gonna marry the woman I love
