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

Could not purchase Portmore

O bonny Portmore,

I am sorry to see

The 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

And if I had you now as
I had once before

All the Lords in Old England

Could not purchase Portmore
