Bonnie Portmore (trad, late 1700s)

from Why Should Not A Trumpet by Travis Puntarelli

/

lyrics

o bonnie portmore

o 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

o bonnie portmore i'm sorry to see
the woeful destruction of your ornament tree
she stood on your shore for many long's the day
til the long boats from antrim came and hauled her away

all the birds in the forest they bitterly weep
crying where will we shelter and where will we sleep
the oak and the ash are all cutten down
and the walls of bonnie portmore are all down on the ground
