-- | LYRICS | --
I was twenty four years old when I met the woman I would call my own
Twenty two grand kids now growing old, in the house that your brother brought 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 at her Guys in the second world war
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
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
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

Ed's grandmother Nancy Mulligan turned 95 years old today
Is his grandfather still alive?
@@SansevieriaMedia No, William Sheeran died a few years ago and Ed wrote an emotional song about him (and Nancy) called 'Afire Love' it's from his 2nd album Multiply X
@@veronicam2935 Well, now that I know that one exists, I'm checking it out too. Thanks for the info.
@@SansevieriaMedia 'Supermarket Flowers' is another popular song used for funerals, and is about Ed's maternal grandmother
@@SansevieriaMedia u
He wrote a song based on his Irish grandparents' love story. That's very sweet.
rcdc His grandparents to be precise
rcdc I thought it would be something like that. that is just so sweet.
rcdc hi
rcdc legit spent ten minutes researching his family tree and realising a lot of the divide songs are about his grandparents (well,this one and supermarket flowers from his mums point of view )
And Afire Love when his grandpa died
"Nancy Mulligan" is one of the most personal songs on the album, telling the story of how his grandparents, William Sheeran, a Protestant from Belfast, Northern Ireland and Nancy Mulligan (real name Anne Mulligan), a Catholic from Republic of Ireland, met, fell in love during the Second World War and got married at the Wexford border.
Ed Sheeran said: "They got engaged and no one turned up at their wedding. He stole all the gold teeth in his dental surgery and melted them down into a wedding ring, and they wore borrowed clothes to get married, and just basically have this kind of Romeo and Juliet romance, which is like the most romantic thing. So I thought I'd write a song about it and make it a jig."
In an interview with the Irish Times, talking about the song's Irish roots, Ed Sheeran said "I don't think enough people use Irish folk in pop music... Hopefully if these songs are successful, more people will do a bit more like it."
Thank you for this info
Tnx man
Lol I literally _just_ read this on Wikipedia!
ooh the amount of likes; 666. this number I like
@@Raya-ir4tm how is 98m views a flop?
Galway Girl is really fit for loud parties, tons of people and music; but Nancy Mulligan is that song you play at someone’s wedding, or anniversary. Something pure, sweet, simple and honestly romantic. It’s like something from a fantasy movie!
Yes!
Same agreed and you know dance with white gowns
I'm a Milligan and I approve this message
I’m planning on having this played at my wedding :)
So true
THIS IS MY FAVE SONG FROM THE WHOLE ALBUM!! WHY?? WHO KNOWS
Jane Dennis same and I'm not Irish
Jane Dennis mine is perfect
Jane Dennis same
Jane Dennis SAME!!!
S A M E
If this doesn’t scream IRISH HERITAGE, I don’t know what does.
Could you plz recommend some other good song with such Irish music?
@@MrAyush-gr1jj Ed's Galway Girl is about life in Ireland and a city in Ireland, same Irish folk band Beoga played some instrumentals for it
@@veronicam2935 yes. I've heard that song a number of times. Any folk song that you have in mind?
Right!? I love me some fiddle.
@@MrAyush-gr1jj I'm not exactly sure if they're Irish but there are songs from a group called Celtic Woman that are folk. For example Teir Abhaile Riu, Siuil a Run and Nil Se'n La all have a folk element to them.
Imagine what it was like when he first showed this to his family. How heartwarming and sweet his family felt that he wrote such a wonderful song about their grandparents.
It's like the story of a regular Ukrainian soldier who falls in love with a Ukrainian girl who came as a medical aid during a Russian invasion and runs away with the Ukrainian girl to western Ukraine.
There is actually a video of an Irish News company showing it to the titular Nancy for the first time. Her reaction was "It was fine. As long as I’m not the one playing it.”
Just casual amusement, no thought that her story was now an international hit song. Adorably humble really.

@@mogonja420 True.
@@mogonja420Calm down lil bro
I could imagine a classic film and everyone's enjoying themselves while this song plays
The Oscar would reward it

Emily Draws yessss! now i do too lmao it works so well

"I bet the Irish are going to love this"... Yes Ed, Yes we do.
Edit: I wrote this 7 years ago. I don't care where you're from.
Germans do too
Eric Yep
Eric Yes,we definitely do

haha ya
😂😂😂
💯 true

LOL that is cracking me up but then again its to true to be true
This man has done something new with Irish music. He's popularised it for an English audience. The song is great, Irish themes there. I hope he and other artists do more of this kind of thing. 10/10.
I started liking Irish music ever since the third class party dance scene in Titanic
I'm pretty sure the Pogues did that already
@@ste9281 Gaelic Storm is the band who did that scene. They're still active and touring - awesome band!
I grew up listening to Irish music, have always loved it. 😍
Yeah, i'm Indonesian but after listening this song, i'm interested to listen Irish music now .
Most people know this is about Ed Sheeran Grandparents and their love story, but did u know that it was based in Ireland (Northern and Republic) and Nancy Mulligan's Father said "no, you can't marry daughter" because William Sheeran was a Protestant from Belfast, Northern Ireland, while Nancy was a Catholic from the Republic of Ireland and currently there were terrorist attacks from both sides.
Ethan Mcallister No I didn't. But now I do. That's a cool part of the story not many people know about. ☺
Ethan Mcallister yep I'm Irish still living here William was a protestant from the north and Nancy was a Caotlic fron the south
yeah i knew this im irish southern and i hope that histiry doesnt repeat it self when the brexit finished
Ethan Mcallister I really don't know that thanks
Yeah, I know that.
I love how Ed is writing irish inspired/themed music. I'm irish and I've always loved Ed, but the fact h'es breaking "pop" rules makes him 1000000x better.
agreed
trueeeeeeeeee
Nice name 😜
Im came from the Netherlands and i really love this song so you dont have to come from an specific land everyone can love it :D
Ciara O'Donohoe I'm Irish as well
This is by far Ed’s best song. Even as someone who isn’t a huge fan of him, I can’t stop listening to this. He should make a whole album of this type of music.
I agree. These are the types of songs I would prefer him to play
Hes versatile many genres can play what he likes
I completely agree with you. I tell my friends my favorite song is from Ed, they laugh at me, not know it’s this beauty. This is also the only love song I genuinely enjoy to a personal degree. I could spend hours writing about how much I love this song, but sadly, I don’t have that kind of time. I would love seeing more songs like this, this is Ed’s best song. I am also not a huge fan of him, but this is just great.
Exactly. Except i am a huge Ed Sheeran fan
@@hannahscreationssI think it’s because they don’t understand how amazing and unique Irish music is. It could be because it’s not popular.
Who else is listening to this in 2021?
Me
I just found this Amazing song ♥️
I just found it now
timeless story... ♡
Your mother
I'm not Irish but I really love this kind of music. I will end up marrying an Irish man and dancing this at my wedding
The Voice With No Face I'm thinking of doing the same after listening to this song hahah XD
The Voice With No Face I'm right here girls
Sean Mc Namara this is why I love Irish men
The Voice With No Face im Irish and single :) haaa
Ah here lads i want in on this action. Ill even teach u an ancient saying in irish. it goes like "An bhfuill cead agam dul go dti an leithreis". it means "i will find my love on the rocky shores of galway"
I want a movie about this! 😍
YEEES!!!!!!
Oh my yesss
That would be there best movie
Of course I do too !
Kristína K same
I'm glad that Ed's grandparents 'went on the run' and 'didn't care about religion' else we wouldn't have Ed Sheeran today 😊
Yes!
@@dorisbeck2914 ewww
@@kaelynmeador5518 eww to u
@@hemalisingh4268 😂 that's what we love
Yes!
Other artists: write songs about money and love
Ed sheeran: so anyway this is how my granparents met
That’s why I think he is great!
He's such a great storyteller, all his songs' lyrics actually have meaning. That's why i love Ed Sheeran 💙
So...a song about love....?
@@emilyc.404 ehhm... yeah...🤣
Why is almost every comment so true?! :D
Ed Sheeran told the love story of his grandparents through a song and its so---- words can't even explained it. He's just so damn incredibly genius
Karina Villa and it's a shame she's dead now she did so much for him, even more than his parents, so he wrote supermarket flowers as if she was his mom because it's about his nan how beautiful and PERFECT 😂 xxx
Supermarket Flowers is about his maternal grandmother, written from the perspective of his mother. And there is a video of Nancy reacting to the song Nancy Mulligan after Divide was released, which of course includes the song Supermarket Flowers, so Supermarket Flowers can't be about Nancy.
zerubablegrrrrrr in all fair-Ness I read it from and article we'll I say read I watched it, and it could be his other grandmother, or he wrote this after she died when he and was talking to his grandfather about her so to be honest either one of us could be right 😉
I'm sorry. i don't really understand what you are trying to say.
What?
Ed has got to do a video for this. I picture it in my head so well.

I have already written down 3 scenarios for it :D So Ed, feel free to contact me if you need an inspiration! lol
Im Aussie.
But have irish/ Scottish heritage.
And when I hear a song like this, something strong within me stirs up and I just feel a deep connection to my past and blood.
The past calling through music
Sick (in a good way)
Same
My family left Ireland in the early 1770s but this song stirs up something inside me too.
I'm South Asian and have no such heritage. But I can still feel a deep connection whenever this song is playing haha 😄
*This song makes me unexplainably happy.*
Irish music always has that effect on me.
if Nancy haven't met William we wouldn't have had ed sheeran today 😅😅
yeah! thank god they met i love ed sheeran
Hayfa Heni so is William his dad?
grandfather
Robyn Patterson I think his grandfather
Hayfa Heni so true

@Amy Gorman this does have Irish instruments.
@Amy Gorman I agree with you though. It's an amazing song. My friend just wastes her time listening to bts trash and she hates this song. She says it's too annoying. I on the other hand, listen to REAL music.

Katie Collins so cute isn't he! so nice he appreciates his grandparents. I'd be SO lost without mine
Freya jones my mum had a massive argument with my nan& I'm super close to my grandad. My nan told my grandad if he ever talked to or saw my mum and her family again then she would Divorce him. I don't know what to do cos I'm lost without my gramps
It's 2024 and I'm still enjoying this song ❤

Love every song Ed Sheeran does ! Especially this song (I'm an American woman with a dad who was half Irish and half Dominican and mom part Indigenous American Indian and part Black American) my parents have both passed away now, and I'm in my 70s still remembering how much love they had for family . You can't stop love even if the religion, color or ethnicity is different , love will have it's way ❤️
This song has it all. It is great musically, overcomes genre borders, tells a (true) story, is biographical und delivers a (or better "some") great message(s).
It grew on me so much over time. I went from "that is a nice tune" to pure joy and goosebumps every time I hear it.
I love this song and I love how he's singing about his grandparents and their love.
Thanks Niall + Harry + Ed = perfection and they are life lol
It's silly. How could you write about someone else's love
Duvee Hie um, why not
maybe because they are his grandparents. why not write about their love without it we wouldn't have him.
The love between his grandmother and grandfather might be completely different to the love Ed feels with his many girlfriends. He doesn't understand the circumstances his grandparents were in, or their special connection they had with one another. Love songs are about YOUR past experiences. You can't write about other people's love, no matter how well documented it might be
This is sooooooooo not a song you would hear these days, It is so original and amazing!!!!!!!
I agree!!!!!!!!! I love your mashups btw
for reallllllllllllllllllll!
I totally appreciate work of Ed sheeran. Such an amazing guy to create music like this. Even I have done cover to this song check if you'd love to, will be a plesure to read your reviews.
Naukden i made a few mashups of ed
I made a mashup of ed sheeran and little mix! I would love some feedback!
When it comes the part of people singing “lalalala” I imagine that there is a party on the region of the hobbits just like lord of the rings
Amazing vision, amazing. I now imagine that.
SAME EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT
I'm from Ireland can confirm
@Aidan Hoffman exactly
holy shit I thought I was the only one
Ed inspired me to go all in with my music. He was once just like me, an artist trying to get heard. And now he’s on on top. It’s happening for me, and Im not stopping when it does! 🧡
This and Galway Girl are both so Irish and I LOVE IT
Lima Bean exactly
Y E S they both are my favourites of the album
Lima Bean yass
Lima Bean Makes me proud to be Irish
Lima Bean i loooove that sound. Im obsessed
HOW DID I MISS THIS GEM OF A SONG FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR!!!!???
same bruh, same.
Same!
Sameee!
Same
Because “perfect” over shadowed it. From my point of view.
My mother was a catholic and my father was a Protestant, but they got together anyways at the height of the troubles. The ‘dont care about religion’ line really hits home for me
I found my new favorite song.
This song makes me wanna visit Ireland.

@Keanu B E A N S your profile photo is a Leo's profile photo. You will ABSOLUTELY find a girl
This song and Galway Girl provide an instant serotonin boost for me. Something so magical and happy about both.
As a lesbian this song always makes me cry. I hope to one day be able to marry the woman I love. Nevertheless, she loves me, I love her and we are in this together. Thank you Ed for the lovely song. We might be 50 or sixty when we can finally marry but this WILL play at our wedding. Thank you for the lovely song and the lovely story about your family. Greetings from Bulgaria!
Years ago Ed posted on his instagram for his fans in Australia and Ireland to vote for same-sex/marriage equality. Hopefully your own country allows it real soon
@Tizianxp once you return your marriage is null and illegal :(
The USA welcomes you! Consider it!
I’m pansexual but mostly attracted to women and I feel you girl 🚶♀️
I hope your dream comes true

Naz Begum Ed Sheeran needs to see this!
He's made a whole album with like 14 songs h can't make fantastic videos for all of the songs with only little time
Naz Begum That's a great idea.

Ed's grandmother Anne Sheeran 'Nancy Mulligan' passed away last week , she would have turned 99 this week
I genuinely think divide was one of, if not the greatest pop album to ever be released. Every song is incredible.
Oh oh! The music video should be like a slideshow of pictures going quickly in the background while young "Nancy Mulligan" and "William Sheeran" dance together. It's gonna be so freaking CUTE!
YEAH, IT WOULD BE AWESOME.
YO THIS SONG IS THE BEST RICHT LADD
;$
ya that would be so cool
Lauryn O' Clock yeah!! But they should be from younger to older w
Something about this song makes me happy, but sad at the same time. It's sad that their parents wouldn't bless their wedding. I mean, that's something very sacred and special. BUT, the song is beautiful! It shows how strong love can be. No money, nothing special, just straight up love. That's just amazing. Just a perfect song!
Ikr. My brother wanted to propose to a girl but because she smoked and didn't have high grades in high school and college they didn't allow it. But secretly I gave them my blessing.
That is amazing! You should be SOOOO proud of yourself. Your brother is blessed to have such an amazing sibling. :)
Madelyn Taylor He's talking about his grandparents btw.
I know.... but her (Ed Sheeran's grandmother's) parents wouldn't bless the wedding.
Ugghhhhh my name is also Madelyn Taylor this scares meh
In 2024 and adore nancy mulligan 😭🤍

Ellie gallagher that would be awesome if my school did it too
saaaame I'd soo learn it😊
Lucy Blacker yes
Lucy Blacker We're everywhere
I have no idea what it is about this song but i cant stop playing it on repeat. And i love how he wrote a song about his grandparent's story. It is amazing and sweet.
other artists are writing about sex, money, love and drugs and ed is writing about his Irish grandparents met
I'm kinda sad not many people will get the lyrics and how William being protestant and Nancy being catholic during the troubles/Partition of Ireland makes the song 1000000x cuter
Amy Kelly when you know the history gives the song a whole different meaning!
Amy Kelly I got it :)
Suzii Bettes i'm pretty sure she means that it makes their love cuter, not the troubles.
Yep, I definitely meant they're love :)
was during/after world war two and I can imagine it being this way during the troubles but here now its quite a common occurrence
Irish songs seem to be so good and jolly
Guava _11 kind of funny for such a gloomy historied country
I think it speaks to the tenacious spirit of the Irish
Friedrich Gutenberg They made upbeat songs to get drunk to because of that.
leonhang Ireland has a very different history but a richer history compared to England? absolutely not. Nothing compares to England when it comes to historic events, people and locations.
Ethan Cox hehe sure 🇮🇪 last I checked England has an amazing history of suppressing other places yeah but that's about it
*This gives me major bonfire party vibes*
The irish rithym is wonderful
I love how is new album kinda focuses on older Irish/Scottish folk music, I hope Ed keeps his albums like this one..
its irish trad music
I'm Castiel the cat Imagine! All I want is a load of Irish based songs like this, or even scottish. UK stuff is so good
Bobby Mathers agreedddds
Ed's grand parents are badass

It’s been 7 years allready but this Song is Timeless.
It's 2024 and it's still a masterpiece
"Don't care about religion
I'm going to marry the woman I love."
my life...
So you're protestant and wanna marry a catholic girl? 'Cause this song is about that, just saying...
@@schwester6523 They quoted the lyrics that they relate to, get a sense of humor.
Some ppl are so butthurt here. Why? Did i say something offensive? Anyway, my only reply to you is: czcams.com/video/OAXX-tr0gzg/video.html
lemoonily same here and I’m a girl
Offensive? Not really. But you're being a bit facetious.
Yes, the context of the song is about a Protestant man marrying a Catholic girl, but that line doesn't specify, and even then, the idea of bucking tradition and family in order to follow your heart isn't unique to Protestants and Catholics, and hell, it doesn't even have to be restricted to religion either.
And while what you said was technically correct, it just comes off as unnecessarily snarky, it's like going into a Chinese restaurant in the US and claiming "WELL, NONE OF THIS IS TECHNICALLY CHINESE FOOD BECAUSE THE INGREDIENTS AND TECHNIQUES USED ARE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT IS SERVED IN CHINA!"
Yes, we know. But nobody cares, so either sit yourself down and just enjoy, or go be snarky by yourself somewhere else.
I think this is my favorite Ed Sheeran song
VickyDoll same
VickyDoll same *.*
Same. But then again, can you really pick a favourite Ed Sheeran song???
VickyDoll yeah my 2nd fav
I like castle by the hill the best
Can we get it to a 100 million at least, I'll be satisfied
Rest in peace, Anne Mulligan!
