[Lyric] Bonny Portmore (Tr (NI))

[Verse 1]
Oh, Bonny Portmore
I am sorry for to see
The woeful destruction
Of your Ornament Tree
You stood on these shores
For many's the long day
'til the long boats of Antrim
Came to float you away

[Verse 2]
Oh, Bonny Portmore
You shine where you stand
And the more I think on you
The more I think long
But if I had you now
As I had you before
The Lord of old England
Could not purchase Portmore

[Verse 3]
Oh, the birds in the forest
They bitterly weep
Crying, "Where can I shelter
And where can I sleep?"
The oak and the ash
Have all been cut down
And the walls of Bonny Portmore
Are fell to the ground
[Outro]
Oh, Bonny Portmore
I am sorry for to see
The woeful destruction
Of your Ornament Tree
