Bonnie Portmore |
| Oh Bonnie 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 |
| Oh Bonnie Portmore I’m sorry to see |
| Such a woeful destruction of your ornament tree |
| For it stood on your shore for many’s the long day |
| Till the long boats of Antrim came to float it away |
| All the birds in the forest they bitterly weep |
| Saying, «Where will we shelter and where will we sleep?» |
| For the oak and the ash they are all cutten down |
| And the walls of Bonnie Portmore are all down to the ground |
| Oh Bonnie 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 |
