      Yea I'm a Milligan they were basically sworn enemies the Mulligan’s who were Irish Rebels against the English so they're families didn't agree with the marriage one being Roman Catholic and the other being Protestant there's a bunch of other songs on the Mulligan’s probably should check out you'll see why they were sworn enemies

    I listened to this song a few times because I love Colm's stuff all the time, but was only yesterday years old when I actually read the full title and realized this was an Ed Sheeran song. I swear, Colm has the magic touch to make anything sound like an Irish tune from a hundred years ago.
    God, I love this man!

    "Nancy Mulligan" is a love song written and performed by Ed Sheeran, a heartfelt tribute to his Irish grandparents. Released in 2017, it tells the story of Sheeran's grandfather, William, a Protestant from Northern Ireland, and his grandmother, Anne "Nancy" Mulligan, a Catholic from the Republic of Ireland. Their love blossomed during World War II, defying societal divisions caused by their religious backgrounds. The song highlights their determination to be together, echoing the star-crossed love of Romeo and Juliet. Sheeran's evocative lyrics and the traditional Irish instrumentation create an enduring story of love transcending borders and differences.

    love this song. Reminds me of my family love story of my great great grandfather being the Lord Mayor's son and my great great grandmother being an Irish maid. Back then English and Irish weren't allowed to marry even if there wasn't the gulf of their social status, so they ran off to America to be married.

    I was twenty-four years old
    When I met the woman I would call my own
    Twenty-two grandkids now we're growing old
    In the 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!"
    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 we were one, down by the Wexford border
    Well, I met her at Guy's in the Second World War, and she was working on a soldiers' 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 we were one, down by the Wexford border
    With a 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 you
    From a farm boy born near Belfast town, I never worried 'bout 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 we were one, down by the Wexford border

    No really. Beautiful. I love that song & think it's iconic, it might be what we consider a classic irish today in a couple decades. There's not much to add. Some funky version wouldn't work.
    And you nailed it.
