Bonny Portmore lyrics

PLAY GREGORIAN Bonny Portmore video Bonny Portmore

O Bonny Portmore you shine where you stand
And the more I think of you,
the more I think long
If I have you now as I have once before
All the Lords of Old England
would not purchase Portmore.

O Bonny Portmore I am sorry to see
Such a woeful destruction
of your ornament tree
For it stood on your shore
for many`s the long day
`Til the long boats from Antrim
came to float it away.

O Bonny Portmore you shine where you stand
And the more I think of you
the more I think long
If I had you now as I had once before
All the Lords of Old England
would not purchase Portmore.

All the birds in the forest they bitterly weep
Saying `where shall we shelter
and where shall we sleep?`
For the Oak and the Ash
they are all cutten down
And the walls of Bonny Portmore
are down to the ground.

O Bonny Portmore you shine where you stand
And the more I think of you
the more I think long
If I had you now as I had once before
All the Lords of Old England
would not purchase Portmore.
