Bonny Portmore Lyrics - The Visit - 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. 

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.
