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, 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 will we shelter or where will 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.

<h3>Bonny Portmore</h3> Oh bela Portmore, você brilha ao se erguer E quanto mais eu penso em ti, mais vai além de meu pensar Se eu ainda a tivesse, como o foras no passado Todos os Lords da velha Inglaterra não poderiam comprá-la: Portomore Agora os pássaros da floresta choram amargamente dizendo: "onde iremos nos abrigar, onde iremos dormir? pois os carvalhos cortados e os freixos estão todos no chão Os paredões da bela Portmore formam tombados Oh bela Portmore você brilha ao se erguer e quanto mais eu penso em ti, mais vai além de meu pensar se eu ainda a tivesse, como foram no passado, Nem todos os lords da velha Inglaterra não a terriam comprado: Portmore
