Down by the Wexford border

Well, I met her at Guy's in the second world war

Never had I seen such beauty before
The moment that I saw her

And we got married wearing borrowed clothes

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
I'm gonna marry the (10)__________ 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
