here's 3 verses...needs a 4th..which I might have..

based on the picture I described..

go home little girl and play with your doll
leave the stones in the street and the bricks in the wall
and trust in the sun to shine over us all
in the city they call Portadown Portadown the city they call Portadown...

The prettiest colleens are in Portadown
they laugh and they sing and they skip up and down
and throw rocks at the soldiers who come to their town
In the city they call Portadown Portadown in the city they call Portadown

it's not if you're orange and not if you're green
but whether your decent or whether you're mean
the whole world is watching the whole world has seen
the city they call Portadown Portadown the city they call Portadown..
