I am sorry but I don't know what song you mean. Does your friend know the name of it? Perhaps the title of the episode might reveal in the listing of the episode what the title is. Thanks. |

You can hear a sound file of it here. Here's the lyrics & some 'fo. Bonny Portmore Words and music traditional; arranged and adapted by Loreena McKennitt From the recording "The Visit " 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. O bonny 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. 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 of Old England would not purchase Portmore. --Mbo |
