    Bonny Portmore

    Loreena McKennitt

    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
    Till the long boats from Antrim came to float it away.

    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.

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

    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 of Old England would not purchase Portmore.
