[00:08.460]I was twenty-four years old

[00:11.640]When I met the woman I would call my own

[00:13.980]Twenty-two grand kids now growing old

[00:16.100]In that house that your brother bought ya

[00:18.490]On the summer day when I proposed

[00:25.600]I made that wedding ring from dentist gold

[00:27.930]And I asked her father, but her daddy said, "No

[00:30.280]You can't marry my daughter"

[00:32.740]She and I went on the run

[00:35.080]Don't care about religion

[00:37.220]I'm gonna marry the woman I love

[00:39.590]Down by the wexford border

[00:42.490]She was Nancy Mulligan

[00:44.470]And I was William Sheeran

[00:46.740]She took my name and then we were one

[00:49.290]Down by the wexford border

[00:51.410]Well, I met her at Guy's in the second world war

[01:03.370]And she was working on a soldier's ward

[01:05.710]Never had I seen such beauty before

[01:07.890]The moment that I saw her

[01:10.220]Nancy was my yellow rose

[01:12.520]And we got married wearing borrowed clothes

[01:14.910]We got eight children now growing old

[01:17.260]Five sons and three daughters

[01:19.640]She and I went on the run

[01:22.060]Don't care about religion

[01:24.300]I'm gonna marry the woman I love

[01:26.670]Down by the wexford border

[01:28.980]She was Nancy Mulligan

[01:31.380]And I was William Sheeran

[01:33.620]She took my name and then we were one

[01:36.190]Down by the wexford border

[01:38.440]From her snow white streak in her jet black hair

[01:59.940]Over sixty years I've been loving her

[02:02.000]Now we're sat by the fire in our old armchairs

[02:04.310]You know Nancy, I adore ya

[02:06.710]From a farm boy born near Belfast town

[02:09.100]I never worried about the king and crown

[02:11.350]'Cause I found my heart upon the southern ground

[02:13.720]There's no difference, I assure ya

[02:16.070]She and I went on the run

[02:18.440]Don't care about religion

[02:20.810]I'm gonna marry the woman I love

[02:23.120]Down by the wexford border

[02:25.450]She was Nancy Mulligan

[02:27.950]And I was William Sheeran

[02:30.220]She took my name and then we were one

[02:32.630]Down by the wexford border

[02:36.600]
