Or was there a Portadown lyric (not the Prod one in the DT) that antedated Bendemeer's Stream?
I didn't mean that the text we know as "Portadown" wasn't old; what I was asking was if there had been another Portadown text that was sung to "Bendemeer's Stream" prior to the latter text being written, i.e. were there two "Portadowns", one of them to the metre of "Bendemeer's Stream" (they're not metrically interchangeable as far as I can scan them)?
I certainly agree with you that massacring people is unacceptable behavior (even if the victims are downright infidels and not mere heretics!), but the text of "Portadown" (as in DT or at your link) is not creed-neutral, not at all at all.
