-- | 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 Sheeran - Galway Girl [Official Lyric Video]](/img/tr.png)
"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
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
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
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
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.
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.
I love this irish vibe 😍😍
definitely celtic feel to it im in love it with it
Tuna Manchode this is completely Irish
Celina Argun fantastic, the world needs more Irish modern songs
***** maybe himilayan monks will be on the next album 😂
waaat it gave me a old korean vibeee
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
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 .
I could imagine a classic film and everyone's enjoying themselves while this song plays
The Oscar would reward it
yesss! i always imagined kinda like tangled, when they are at the bar talking about their dreams
@@amymartin6967 i kinda imagina that dancing scene with Rapunzel and Eugene
Emily Draws yessss! now i do too lmao it works so well
T
"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
Eric Everyone would love this song
Eric Hell im American and this is my favorite
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"
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?
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.
Ed has got to do a video for this. I picture it in my head so well.
Arni Joseph same

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 😄
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
🍀🍀🍀I'm not Irish but I love their culture and music. 🍀🍀🍀
@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.

L&K Studios0706 i thought so. its so sweet 😍😀
L&K Studios0706 I love their love story
L&K Studios0706 was his grandmother? What happened?
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.

Brooke Winchester same!
Brooke Winchester Same here 👊
you missing out bro. go listen through his old songs will give you a sense how talented he is
Divide is hands down his best album, but I highly highly recommend both Plus and Multiply too. Plus is deep as hell, and Multiply is nothing but bangers.
Kaija Schmauss Ed's best yet, that I'm agree. But seriously, anyone who haven't listened to Ed before Divide must listen his songs from way back too for the sake of enjoying the new album. Exhibit A: you'll enjoy the storytelling in Nancy Mulligan more if you already knew Afire Love.
The part where it says "she and I went on the run, no care about religion": for those who didn't know this: Protestants and Catholics never normally married in Ireland. The Mulligans were Protestants and the Sheerans were Catholics. But religious factions shouldn't get in the way of love.
And this was at the time that Ed Sheeran's grandparents first met; probably around 1939 or 1940.
I thought it was the other way round considering he's Grandad was from Northern Ireland.
The Catholics were in Ireland, the Protestants were in Northern Ireland.
@@dominicjamessebastiankrone6690 Yes? But you said "the Mulligan's were Protestants and that the Sheeran's were Catholic." Which is incorrect considering that William SHEERHAN is from Northern Ireland and Nancy MULLIGAN is from the Republic of Ireland.
@@BananaExtremeAwe Okay, so there are a few corrections. You're both right, it's fine. The Sheerans were Protestants and the Mulligans were Catholics, and this song and the love it's dedicated to defied a lot of feuds, as far as I can tell, since this was WWII.
@@BananaExtremeAwe j
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 ❤️
Guys take notes. This is the kind of thing women like to hear especially if it’s the woman you truly love.
Honestly that is perfect.😍
This is my Wedding song so truely appreciated
Either ok 3
Truth. If a man wrote a Celtic ditty about me, I'd probably just take him to the courthouse right then 😍
@Keanu B E A N S your profile photo is a Leo's profile photo. You will ABSOLUTELY find a girl
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
Im expecting a music video set in like an irish pub with like flashbacks of the wedding and family photos
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

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.

totally!
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
Not only does Ed Sheeran write and sing Irish folk songs, acoustic love songs, rock, and rap, he is a one man band most of the time. I've seen him play multiple instruments, beat box, and looping all of the sounds, while singing lead and playing base and rhythm on his guitar simultaneously! The man has genius level of musical talent, and never ceases to amaze me!
and when Ed performs the 2 Irish folk songs live, he plucks his acoustic guitar strings to sound like a fiddle/violin playing
He's the best.
Veronica M he is part Irish all his family is Irish he spent a lot of his childhood in Ireland
This song is enough to make a movie about Nancy Mulligan
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
In Ireland we don't say 'See you soon' we say "Tiocfaidh ár lá" which means 'Our day will come' and I think it's beautiful
:3 CarsThatDrive :3 That's actually so beautiful :,3

Im British/northern irish but still I find myself saying it to my mates 😂😂

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
Stranger : are you Irish ?
Me : pft no! I only live there
*ed sings about Ireland*
Stranger : are you-
Me: YES!
hahhhahahaha
LMFAO 😂 😂
QueenBee1808 are you from ireland too? (:
marina rrr I live in Ireland
bwahahaha
didn't expect this album to have Irish influences
For anyone confused, this song is about Ed's grandma Nancy (it's the point of view of Ed's grandpa)
does this song make anyone happy? like happy for no reason. It is fresh and idk... beautiful.
Why is this so cute ?!!
Ridz Yasser because it's based off his great grandparents and it shows off how much love Ed has for his family
this is weird. Ed Sheeran is making loads of songs bout the irish. YAY🙌
His every irish song makes me wanna dance even I dont know irish dance. Even I have done cover to this song check if you'd love to, will be a plesure to read your reviews.
Naukden can I have a shout out

Niall Horan would love this song
Lesley Høran I know 😂😂
aha ikr
this reminds me of act my age
Yepppp
Lesley Høran true truee
Ed Sheeran is one of the best singers. This song confirms it.
this somehow reminds me of the song in how to train your dragon 2 where hiccup's parents singing to their song
zakira zainal efendi me too
this reminds me of brave
Feqrless if your referring to brave as in the Disney film brave with the wee red headed princess it's the Gaelic element also found in Scotland x
"For the dancing and the dreaming"
That's what the song is called. Love that one.
zakira zainal efendi that's because that song was also a folk song, though it was scottish
The cutest part is that Nancy Mulligan is his grandmom and William Sheeran is his grandpa. 🌈
Ed's song 'Afire Love' is about his grandfather (& grandmother) and was played at his funeral
Grandmom?
OMG I was wondering if that was his parents or even past relatives. That's so cooool.
@@veronicam2935 grandmOm?
@@annecreaney5152 grandmom is like grandmother or grandma
This and Galway Girl makes me want to visit Ireland now. I am in love with this contemporary twist on a folk style of music.
You should visit Ireland! I live in Maynooth near Dublin, and it is a lovely place.
ireland is definitely worth the visit. i live down in kerry, and it's really beautiful here! we have killarney about a half an hour away us which had the killarney national park. the cliffs of moher are a few hours away from us but they're well worth the visit to see the fog come in over the cliffs is fucking amazing :>
TheMelodyStar im from ireland
Ireland is amazing. Lived in Cork for 2 years and Irish people also makes Ireland one of the place to visit and for me one of the best I have ever lived in. Fell in love with this country. Definitely recommend to visit this country !!
I'm a pretty mixed person, but this song just *awakened* the distantly Irish part of me and I'm vibing so hard
I am indian..I am vibing to Irish...I don't know how

[Verse 1]
I was twenty-four years old
When I met the woman I would call my own
Twenty-two grand kids now growing old
In that 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]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
