I was twenty-four years old when I met the woman I would call my own
Twenty-two grand kids now growing old in that 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
I'm gonna marry the woman I love, down by the Wexford border
She was Nancy Mulligan, and I was William Sheeran
She took my name and then 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
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

Di da-da-da-da-da di-da-di, di da-da-da-da-da di
Di da-da-da-da-da di-da-di, di da-da-da-da-da di-da-di, da da
Di da-da-da-da-da di-da-di, di da-da-da-da-da di
From her snow white streak in her jet black hair, over sixty years I've been loving
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
