Does anyone have the written music for the traditional gaelic tune Bonny Portmore (in BMP, GIF, or JPG if possible), or perhaps know a link to it's whereabouts? I'll see if I can put a word in upstairs for you if you can help...

Oh 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 on Old England would not purchase Portmore

Oh bonny Portmore, I am sorry to see Such a woeful destruction of your ornament tree For it stood on your shore for many's a 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 Bonny Potmore are a;; down to the ground.

From The Irish Folk Song Tradition, O'Boyle

Thanks for the lyrics D.G.!

To Alisdair: Notes in harp format would be okay if you've got 'em. I may be able to translate them to other instruments if I have the notes.

Thank ya kindly,
