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

(Verse 3)
From her [Em] snow white streak in her jet black [C] hair, over [D] sixty years I've been [Em] loving her
Now we're [Em] sat by the fire in our [C] old [G] armchairs, you know [C] Nancy [D] I [Em] adore ya
From a [Em] farm boy born near Belfast [C] town, [D] I never worried about the [Em] king and crown
'Cause I [Em] found my heart upon the [C] southern [G] ground, there's no [C] difference [D] I [Em] assure ya
