[Verse 1]
G Am C Am
O Bonnie Portmore, I am sorry to have seen
G Am C G
Such woeful destruction of your ornament tree
Am Bm Am C
For it stood on your shore for many's the long day
Am Bm Am D
Till the long boats from Antrim came to float it away
[Verse 2]
G Am C Am
O Bonnie Portmore, you shine where you stand
G Am C G
And the more I think on you, the more I think long
Am Bm Am C
If I had you now, as I had once before
Am Bm Am D
All the lords in old England would not purchase Portmore
[Verse 3]
G Am C Am
All the birds in the forest, they do bitterly weep
G Am C G
Sighing, "Where shall we shelter, o where shall we sleep?"
Am Bm Am C
For the oak and the ash, they are all cut down
Am Bm Am D
And the walls of Bonnie Portmore they are down to the ground
[Verse 4]
G Am C Am
O Bonnie Portmore, you shine where you stand
G Am C G
And the more I think on you, the more I think long
Am Bm Am C
If I had you now, as I had once before
Am Bm Am D
All the lords in old England would not purchase Portmore.
