Em C I was twenty four years old D Em When I met the woman I would call my own Em C G Twenty two grand kids now growing old C D Em 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" Chorus: G C G She and I went on the run D C G Don't care about religion G C G I'm gonna marry the woman I love C D Em 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 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 Chorus: 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 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 Chorus: 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 | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC D Em G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
