Shine

This is a live performance from her 2007 promotional tour for the album "an Ancient Muse"
(Bonny Portmore was not included on an Ancient Muse"

From her 1991 album titled "the Visit":
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.
.. til 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.
..Sighing,
Where shall we shelter or where shall 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 in Old England would not purchase Portmore.
