I was twenty-five years old
When I met the woman I would call my own
Twenty-two grandkids now growing old
In the house that your brother bought ya
On the summer day when 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
Im gonna marry the woman I love
Down my the Wexford border
She was Nancy Mulligan
And I was William Sheeran
She took my name an than 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 soldier's 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
She and I went on the run
Don't care about religion
Im gonna marry the woman I love
Down my the Wexford border
She was Nancy Mulligan
And I was William Sheeran
She took my name an than we were one
Down by the Wexford border
From her snow white streak in her jet black 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 ya
From a farm boy born near Belfast town
I never worried about the king and crown
'Cause I found my heart upon the southern ground
There's no difference, I assure ya
She and I went on the run
Don't care about religion
Im gonna marry the woman I love
Down my the Wexford border
She was Nancy Mulligan
And I was William Sheeran
She took my name an than we were one
Down by the Wexford border

This is by Ed Sheeran. I love this song, not just because my name is Nancy, but because of the style. Although hearing Ed Sheeran say "You know Nancy I adore you" is pretty great. Please vote and comet.
