oh bonnie 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. oh bonnie 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. all the birds in the forest, they bitterly weep saying "where shall we shelter or where shall we sleep" for the oak and the ash, they are all cutten down and the walls of bonnie portmore are all down to the ground. oh bonnie 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.

Shady Grove 05:03
shady grove, my little love, shady grove, i say, shady grove, my little love, i'm bound to go away, cheeks as red as the bloomin' rose eues of the prettiest brown she's the darlin of my heart, sweetest little girl in town shady grove my little love, shady grove i say shady grove my little love, i'm bound to go away. i wish i had a big fine horse and the corn to feed him on and shady grove to stay at home and feed him while i'm gone shady grove my little love, shady grove i say, shady grove my litttle love, i'm bound to go away. went to see my shady grove, she was standin in the door, her shoes and stockings in her hand, and her little bare feet on the floor. shady grove my little love, shady grove i say. shady grove my little love, i'm bound to go away. kiss from pretty little shady grove is sweet as the brand new wine, and there ain't no girl in this whole world who's prettier than mine. shady grove my little love, shady grove i say, shady grove my little love, i'm bound to go away. when i was a little boy i wanted a barlow knife, now i want little shady grove to say she'll be my wife. shady grove my little love, shady grove i say, shady grove my little love, i'm bound to go away.

the first time ever i saw your face i thought the sun rose in your eyes and the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave to the dark and the endless sky, my love. the first time ever i kissed your mouth i felt the earth move through my hands like the trembling heart of a captive bird that was there at my command. the first time ever i lay with you i felt your heart so close to mine and i knew our joy would fill the earth and last till the end of time, my love. from the first time ever i saw your face.

i went to church on sunday my love, she passed me by i knew her mind was changing by the roving of her eye by the roving of her eye by the roving of her eye i knew her mind was changing by the roving of her eye my love is fair and proper her waist is neat and small and she is quite good-looking and that's the best of all and that's the best of all and that's the best of all and she is quite good-looking and that's the best of all oh hannah, loving hannah come give to me your hand you said that if you'd marry that i would be the one that i would be the one that i would be the one you said that if you'd marry that i would be the one i will go down by the river when everyone's asleep and think of loving hannah and then sit down and weep and then sit down and weep and then sit down and weep i'll think of loving hannah and then sit down and weep i went to church on sunday my love, she passed me by i knew her mind was changing by the roving of her eye by the roving of her eye by the roving of her eye i knew her mind was changing by the roving of her eye
