[Em]

 

[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

 

[Em]

 

On the [Em]summer day when I pro[C]posed

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"

 

[G]She and I went [C]on the [G]run

[D]Don't care about re[C]ligion[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]Mulli[G]gan

And [D]I was William [C]Shee[G]ran

She [G]took my name and then [C]we were [G]one

[C]Down by the [D]Wexford [Em]border

 

[Em]　[C]　[D]　[Em]

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

 

[G]She and I went [C]on the [G]run

[D]Don't care about re[C]ligion[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]Mulli[G]gan

And [D]I was William [C]Shee[G]ran

She [G]took my name and then [C]we were [G]one

[C]Down by the [D]Wexford [Em]border

From her [Em]snow [N.C.]white streak in her jet black [C]hair

Over [D]sixty [N.C.]years I've been [Em]loving [N.C.]her

Now we're [Em]sat [N.C.]by the fire in our [C]old arm[G]chairs

You know [C]Nancy, [D]I [Em]adore [N.C.]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 [N.C.]ya

 

[G]She and I went [C]on the [G]run

[D]Don't care about re[C]ligion[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]Mulli[G]gan
