Nancy Mulligan - Pop Tracks

[00:09.120]I was twenty-four years old
[00:11.10]When I met the woman I would call my own
[00:14.580]Twenty-two grand kids now growing old
[00:17.100]In that house that your brother bought ya
[00:23.14]On the summer day when I proposed
[00:26.600]I made that wedding ring from dentist gold
[00:28.930]And I asked her father, but her daddy said, \"No
[00:31.280]You can't marry my daughter\"
[00:33.740]She and I went on the run
[00:36.080]Don't care about religion
[00:38.220]I'm gonna marry the woman I love
[00:40.590]Down by the waxford border
[00:42.13]She was Nancy Mulligan
[00:45.470]And I was William Sheeran
[00:47.740]She took my name and then we were one
[00:49.22]Down by the waxford border
[01:00:24]Well, met her at Guy's in the second world war
[01:03.710]And she was working on a soldier's ward
[01:06.00]Never had I seen such beauty before
[01:08.890]The moment that I saw her
[01:11.220]Nancy was my yellow rose
[01:13.520]And we got married wearing borrowed clothes
[01:15.910]We got eight children now growing old
[01:18.260]Five sons and three daughters
[01:20.640]She and I went on the run
[01:23.060]Don't care about religion
[01:25.300]I'm gonna marry the woman I love
[01:27.670]Down by the waxford border
[01:29.980]She was Nancy Mulligan
[01:32.380]And I was William Sheeran
[01:34.620]She took my name and then we were one
[01:37.190]Down by the waxford border
[01:57:03]From her snow white streak in her jet black hair
[02:00.640]Over sixty years I've been loving her
[02:03.000]Now we're sat by the fire in our old armchairs
[02:05.310]You know Nancy, I adore ya
[02:07.710]From a farm boy born near Belfast town
[02:10.100]I never worried about the king and crown
[02:12.350]'Cause I found my heart upon the southern ground
[02:14.13]There's no difference, I assure ya
[02:17.070]She and I went on the run
[02:19.440]Don't care about religion
[02:21.810]I'm gonna marry the woman I love
[02:24.120]Down by the waxford border
[02:26.450]She was Nancy Mulligan
[02:28.950]And I was William Sheeran
[02:31.220]She took my name and then we were one
[02:33.630]Down by the waxford border
