Portobello Belle Lyrics - Mark Knopfler

Bella donna's on the high street 

Her breasts upon the off beat 

And the stalls are just the side shows 

Victoriana's old clothes 

And yes her jeans are tight now 

She gotta travel light now 

She's gotta tear up all her roots now 

She got a turn up for the boots now 

Yeah she thinks she's tough 

She ain't no english rose 

But the blind singer 

He's seen enough and he knows 

Yes and he do a song 

About a long gone irish girl 

Ah but I got one for you portobello belle

She sees a man upon his back there 

Escaping from a sack there 

And bella donna lingers 

Her gloves they got no fingers 

Yeah, the blind man singing irish 

He get his money in a tin dish 

Just a corner serenader 

Upon a time he could have made her, made her 

Yeah, she thinks she's tough 

She ain't no english rose 

Ah, but the blind singer 

He's seen enough and he knows 

Yes and do a song 

About a long gone irish girl 

Ah but I got one for you portobello belle

Yes and the barrow boys are hawking 

And a parakeet is squawking 

Upon a truck there is a rhino 

She get the crying of a wino 

And then she hear the reggae rumble 

Bella donna's in the jungle 

But she is no garden flower 

There is no distress in the tower 

Oh, bella donna walks 

Bella donna taking a stroll 

But she don't care about your window box 

Or your button hole 

Yes and she sing a song about a long gone irish girl 

Ah but I got one for you portobello belle
