[Verse 1]
Em C D Em
I was twenty-four years old when I met the woman I would call my own
Em C G C D Em
Twenty-two grand kids now growing old in that house that your brother bought ya
Em C D Em
On the summer day when I proposed, I made that wedding ring from dentist gold
Em C G C D Em
And I asked her father but her daddy said no, you can't marry my daughter
[Chorus 1]
G C G D C G
She and I went on the run, don't care about religion
G C G C D Em
I'm gonna marry the woman I love, down by the Wexford border
G C G D C G
She was Nancy Mulligan, and I was William Sheeran
G C G C D Em
She took my name and then we were one, down by the Wexford border
Em C D Em
Em C G C D Em
[Verse 2]
Em C D Em
Well I met her at Guy's in the second world war and she was working on a soldier's ward
Em C G C D Em
Never had I seen such beauty before the moment that I saw her
Em C D Em
Nancy was my yellow rose and we got married wearing borrowed clothes
Em C G C D Em
We got eight children now growing old, five sons and three daughters
[Chorus 2]
G C G D C G
She and I went on the run, don't care about religion
G C G C D Em
I'm gonna marry the woman I love, down by the Wexford border
G C G D C G
She was Nancy Mulligan, and I was William Sheeran
G C G C D Em
She took my name and then we were one, down by the Wexford border

[Verse 3]
Em C D Em
From her snow white streak in her jet black hair, over sixty years I've been loving her
Em C G C D Em
Now we're sat by the fire in our old armchairs, you know Nancy I adore ya
Em C D Em
From a farm boy born near Belfast town, I never worried about the king and crown
Em C G C D Em
'Cause I found my heart upon the southern ground, there's no difference I assure ya
[Chorus 3]
G C G D C G
She and I went on the run, don't care about religion
