Bonny portmore(Chords)

	        GO Bonny PortA  more, I am Csorry to see 
Such a Gwoeful deA  struction of your Cornament Gtree 
For it A  stood on your B  shore for maCny's the long day 
Till the A  long boats from B  Antrim came to Cfloat it aD4way.D 
 
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 in Old England would not purchase Portmore.
