Annwn - Bonny Portmore lyrics
[Annwn - Bonny Portmore lyrics]
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
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
