Lyrics

[Verse 1]
O bonny Portmore
I am sorry to see
Such a woeful destruction
Of your ornament tree
For it stood on your shore
Many's the long day
Till the long boats from Antrim
Came to float it away
[Verse 2]
Oh, Bonny Portmore
You shine where you stand
And the more I think on you
The more I think long
If I had you now as
I had once before
All the lords in old England
Would not purchase Portmore
[Verse 3]
All the birds in the forest
They bitterly weep
Saying where shall we shelter
Where shall we sleep
For the oak and the ash
They are all cut'n down
And the walls of bonny Portmore
Are all down to the ground
[Verse 4]
O bonny Portmore
You shine where you stand
And the more I think on you
The more I think long
If I had you now as
I had once before
All the lords in old England
Would not purchase Portmore
