Music and Lyrics TraditionalO BONNY PORTMORE you shine where you standAnd the more I think on you the more I think longIf I had you now as I had once beforeAll the Lords in Old England would not purchase Portmore.O BONNY PORTMORE I am sorry to seeSuch a woeful destruction of your ornament treeFor it stood on your shore for many`s the long dayTill the long boats from Antrim came to float it away.O BONNY PORTMORE you shine where you standAnd the more I think on you the more I think longIf I had you now as I had once beforeAll the Lords in Old England would not purchase Portmore.All the birds in the forest they bitterly weepSaying "where will we shelter or where will we sleep?"For the Oak and the Ash they are all cutten downAnd the walls of BONNY PORTMORE are all down to the ground.O BONNY PORTMORE you shine where you standAnd the more I think on you the more I think longIf I had you now as I had once beforeAll the Lords in Old England would not purchase Portmore. The destruction of old growth forests has become an important conservation issue in recent years, but it is not a new phenomenon. Over the centuries many of Ireland`s old oak forests were leveled for military and shipbuilding purposes. Only recently has there been an effort to reestablish these great hardwoods. The Great Oak of Portmore stood on the property of Portmore Castle on the shore of Lough Beg. - L.M.
