    F         C          Gm       Bb
Oh, Bonny Portmore, I am sorry to see

       F         C                Gm       F
Such a woeful destruction of your ornament tree

       Bb            F/A       Gm              F
For it stood on your shore for many's the long day

        Gm              F/A
Til the long boats from Antrim

        Bb        C        C7
Came to float it away
[Chorus]
    F         C         Gm              Bb
Oh, Bonny Portmore, you shine where you stand

        F            C           Gm           F
And the more I think on you, the more I think long

   Bb        F/A      Gm         Bb/F
If I had you now as I had once before

        Gm           F/A
All the Lords in Old England

          Bb           C
Would not purchase Portmore

        F            C           Gm       Bb
All the birds in the forest they bitterly weep

         F              C             Gm        F
Saying, "Where shall we shelter, where shall we sleep?"

        Bb          F/A           Gm         Bb/F
For the Oak and the Ash, they are all cutten down

        Gm             F/A
And the walls of Bonny Portmore

        Bb          C        C7
Are all down to the ground
[Chorus]
    F         C         Gm              Bb
Oh, Bonny Portmore, you shine where you stand

        F            C           Gm           F
And the more I think on you, the more I think long

   Bb        F/A      Gm         Bb/F
If I had you now as I had once before

        Gm           F/A
All the Lords in Old England

          Bb           C
Would not purchase Portmore
